Manchester United are actively engaged in negotiations with Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich over a potential loan deal for Cameroonian international striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, reports Les Bons Conseil Du Sports editor Seb Ecrivain Foot.

The Red Devils, constrained by Financial Fair Play (FFP) limitations, are steering away from permanent deals this transfer window. Instead, they are exploring the loan market in their quest for reinforcements, with Choupo-Moting emerging as a prime target.

Manchester United keen on a January move for Choupo-Moting

Having monitored Choupo-Moting’s situation for several weeks, Manchester United are expected to solidify their interest with an offer to both the player and his current club. Talks are said to be progressing well as the English side is keen on bolstering its attacking options.

Choupo-Moting, who has fallen out of favour at Bayern since the arrival of Harry Kane last summer, has started only four of his 20 appearances this season.

The 34-year-old striker has contributed three goals in the current campaign, a decline from his impressive tally of ten league goals in 19 appearances last season.

While not a long-term solution to Manchester United’s goal-scoring concerns, Choupo-Moting’s potential short-term deal could prove mutually beneficial.

The seasoned striker, formerly of Paris Saint-Germain, boasts an impressive track record, winning two Ligue 1 titles and three Bundesliga titles in the last five seasons.

Standing at 6 feet 3 inches, Choupo-Moting possesses strong finishing abilities, making him a menacing force for opposition defenses. His strength, dribbling skills, and ball-holding ability could add value to Manchester United’s attacking lineup.

Despite concerns among fans, his eagerness to make a mark in the Premier League, following his stint with Stoke City, suggests that Choupo-Moting may exceed expectations.

The loan move, if finalized, could see Choupo-Moting bring his experience and goal-scoring prowess to Old Trafford, providing Manchester United with a valuable asset for the remainder of the season.
