Manchester United are assessing a move for Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy as they look at alternatives to long-standing target Benjamin Sesko.
According to TEAMtalk, the 30-year-old Guinea international has emerged as another option being considered by the club’s board as it seeks to reshape its forward line.
Manchester United want an experienced goalscorer who can make an immediate impact at the highest level. With a demanding schedule in the Premier League and European competitions, the club believe an established centre-forward could improve their efficiency in front of goal.
Guirassy fits that profile and has continued to produce decisive performances for Borussia Dortmund. His movement, physical strength and finishing ability have made him a significant threat inside the penalty area.
The striker has made a strong start to the season, scoring four goals and providing two assists in six appearances. Those figures continue the form he showed during his time with Stuttgart and since moving to Dortmund.
His consistent output has strengthened his reputation as one of the most closely monitored forwards in the European transfer market. Manchester United’s recruitment department is therefore keeping a close watch on his situation.
Benjamin Sesko remains central to the club’s thinking, but Guirassy’s potential availability could become increasingly important as Manchester United press ahead with their plans to reorganise the attack.
The priority for the Red Devils is to find a striker who can deliver goals quickly and make an impact in important matches. However, their interest in Guirassy has not yet developed into advanced discussions, and it remains to be seen whether the club will take the next step in the coming weeks.
Guirassy’s immediate focus will be with Borussia Dortmund, who are due to play Werder Bremen in the fifth round of the German championship.
