Wolves star Raul Jimenez opens up on Manchester United links

by Marwan Harraz

According to Wolves star Raul Jimenez, Manchester United failed in a summer approach for his signature, confirming reports of their interest.

The talented striker was believed to be on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s shortlist as he looked to reinforce his attacking firepower.

Edinson Cavani was signed on deadline day instead but some fans had wanted to see Jimenez in action at Old Trafford.

The Mexican forward has impressed in the Premier League ever since arriving from Benfica a few summers ago.

Jimenez would’ve been the younger option in comparison to Cavani but it’s safe to say the latter has a bigger status or profile.

It’s not made clear why an agreement wasn’t reached but given how Manchester United went for the free agent in Cavani instead, it’s possible the two clubs couldn’t agree on a transfer fee.

Most of the clubs around the world were affected by the economic effects of Covid-19 and so, many chose not to spend at all or just the bare minimum.

United are meant to have the financial strength to be able to handle such times but unfortunately, their debt has finally caught up with them.

Nonetheless, if Cavani can go on a goalscoring run then links with other strikers during the window will have been long forgotten.

United have had some world class goalkeepers over the years and some entertaining ones too. Take our quiz below to find out how much you know about United’s number 1’s, past and present.
