Usain Bolt Shares His Top Transfers for Manchester United
Man United's Summer Transfer Shortlist Includes Usain Bolt, According to Cole Palmer
Gearing up for another crucial transfer window, Manchester United - a Premier League titan - seeks to turn around their lackluster season. Despite their recent slump, the club's legendary status continues to attract top-notch talent.
Olympic icon Usain Bolt has cast his eye on an enticing trio of players he'd love to see join United's roster at Old Trafford. In an interview with Bleacher Report, he showed his footballing acumen, recommending:
Ademola Lookman, the left winger from Atalanta, impressed Bolt with his outstanding performances.
Cole Palmer, a rising star who showcased his skills, is another name on Bolt's list.
For the striker position, Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting [Lisbon] caught Bolt's attention, although the pronunciation of his surname has left some scratching their heads.
Ademola Lookman, a former player of Charlton Athletic and Everton, has earned recognition as one of the best wingers in Serie A with Atalanta. He shone brightly last season with a remarkable hat-trick in the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen. This season, he has netted 18 goals and provided seven assists across all competitions.
Cole Palmer, although facing a challenging second season with Chelsea, continues to make waves. Despite not scoring since their 2-2 draw against Bournemouth in January, he has still managed to score 14 goals and create another ten for the Blues, making him their most productive player.
A boyhood United fan, a transfer for Palmer would likely break records due to his potential.
Bolt's interest in Viktor Gyokeres isn't surprising, given their shared past at Sporting [Lisbon]. Since joining Sporting from Coventry City in 2023, the striker has been on fire, scoring an incredible 95 goals in just 98 appearances. Arsenal reportedly has Gyokeres on their radar, with United also heavily linked to the player.
As Manchester United prepares for the transfer market, they could potentially enter the €2024/25 season as Europa League champions, following their 3-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao in the first leg. The second leg is set to take place at Old Trafford, with Tottenham looming as a potential final opponent.
Assuming United triumphs, the final will be held four days before the conclusion of the Premier League season. Immediately after, the Red Devils will dive headfirst into the fray of the transfer market to fortify their squad for the upcoming season.
