Man United have made a big contract offer to a “crazy” attacker who wants to go.

Manchester United are favourites to capture Marcus Thuram from Borussia Monchengladbach and want to finalize a deal in the coming weeks.

With Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure from Manchester United, Erik ten Hag now has only one out-and-out senior centre-forward on his books in Anthony Martial.

As a result, a new forward looks to be on the horizon, with links to Thuram and Atletico Madrid’s Joao Felix appearing in recent weeks.

Thuram, characterized as “a touch insane” by former teammate Denis Zakaria, is out of contract at Monchengladbach at the end of the season, and it appears that United are making a play for him during the winter transfer window.

THE LATEST: A MASSIVE CONTRACT OFFER WAS MADE

In the last 48 hours, Sports Witness received an update on Thuram from La Repubblica. According to the report, Inter Milan has given Thuram a four-year contract for €5 million a year with bonuses, which is less than the offer presented by Old Trafford officials.

United are considered ‘favourites’ for a deal and hope to complete an instant January move in the coming weeks, with Monchengladbach demanding a €15 million price.

Thuram might be a perfect addition for the club as they want to strengthen their offensive ranks ahead of a hectic second half of the season. Transfermarkt values the 25-year-old as a €32 million centre-forward who can also play out wide.

In recent months, he has contributed to 13 Bundesliga goals in 15 games, indicating that he is in good form. The club might beat Inter Milan and Bayern Munich to a deal, which would add to the excellent vibes at Old Trafford.
