Manchester United inquires about Ismaila Sarr transfer

Manchester United has begun its efforts to sign Senegalese international Ismaïla Sarr, the Crystal Palace forward, as part of its plans to strengthen the attack during the summer transfer window.

According to "Foot Mercato," Manchester United's management has inquired about the player's situation and the possibility of signing him, convinced of his ability to play in multiple attacking positions and provide an added value to the team.

Manchester United's interest comes after a standout season from Sar, who scored 21 goals in all competitions, including nine in the UEFA Europa Conference League. He also played a key role in Crystal Palace's title win and delivered strong performances for Senegal in the 2026 World Cup.

The report indicates that the 28-year-old player may welcome a transfer to Old Trafford if he receives a formal offer, viewing it as an opportunity to join one of Europe's biggest clubs.

Manchester United is seeking to strengthen its attack after the departure of Rasmus Hojlund, with expectations that Joshua Zirkzee may also leave during the summer, increasing the need for a new striker.

Despite Manchester United's interest, Crystal Palace is unwilling to let go of one of their standout attacking players, which may push the English club to make a strong offer to convince Palace's management to complete the deal.
