Man Utd pounce on Arsenal target as Ibra won’t be offered new deal

Manchester United have emerged as top contenders for Arsenal target Alexandre Lacazette, who had been close to joining Atletico Madrid in the last few weeks, according to Lyon President Jean-Michel Aulas.

According to L’Equipe (via Marca), Manchester United have jumped to front of the queue for the talented French striker after that his move to the Spanish capital was blocked by the Colchoneros’ transfer ban.

​Lyon and Atletico Madrid had reached an agreement but the striker’s move to Spain has now collapsed and Manchester United are the most interested club in signing him.
The Red Devils will be looking for a new centre forward in the summer as reports in England claim Zlatan Ibrahimovic won’t be offered a contract extension by the Europa League winners.

A source close to Mourinho has told the Daily Star that due to the Swede’s knee injury, Manchester United won’t offer Ibra a contract extension. Lacazette is not the only striker on United’s sights as Griezmann and Andrea Belotti are also top summer targets of the Premier League giants.
