Man United eye £67m striker after Benjamin Sesko summer transfer decision

Manchester United scouting Troy Parrott at Real Betis after deciding against signing a striker in summer; the 24-year-old has scored twice in seven La Liga matches this season.

Manchester United have sent officials to Spain to watch Troy Parrott in action for Real Betis, with the club eyeing a potential £67.5m move for the 24-year-old striker. Parrott, who left Tottenham for AZ Alkmaar in 2024 before joining Betis for £17m in the summer, has impressed with two goals and an assist in seven matches this season. United are seeking a number nine with immediate impact after deciding not to add a centre-forward during the summer transfer window, and scouts have been monitoring Parrott's performances in both La Liga and the Champions League.
