Man United join race to sign €30 million Egypt’s ‘new Mohamed Salah’ who is outscoring Harry Kane in the Bundesliga -Report

Manchester united are still in need of clinical and dynamic goal-scorer, Though they are not the only ones who think highly of the Eintracht Frankfurt

Spending millions of pounds on players who don’t score enough goals is something Manchester United enjoys doing more than anything else these days.

They’ve spent a ton of money on Atalanta for Rasmus Hojlund and Bologna for Joshua Zirkzee only in the last two summers, but they haven’t seen any return on their investments.

The most expensive upfront purchases aren’t always the most successful, as the contemporary history of football repeatedly demonstrates.

Better deals can be obtained elsewhere in the market, and there are people out there eager to burst through who are simmering under the surface.

That brings us to the world’s newest sensation, Omar Marmoush of Eintracht Frankfurt. The Egypt international has been a well-respected Bundesliga attacker for a while now, but his 2024 form has seen him enter a different conversation altogether.

United aren’t the only side linked with a move for Marmoush, as Liverpool have long been reported as an alternative destination, either as a replacement to or to be a partner for countryman Mohamed Salah, and Arsenal are also in the mix. Wherever he does wind up next, Marmoush will instantly become a star attraction.

Eintracht are said to value Marmoush at a snip €30 million (£25m/$32.9m). In today’s market, you could still probably find a way to flip him for profit if a move didn’t work out as intended.

But there’s little reason to think Marmoush won’t be a success over the next few seasons, particularly with his peak years still ahead of him. GOAL has done some digging into the forward’s recent rise.

Born in Cairo on February 7, 1999, Marmoush joined local side Wadi Degla as a youngster. A relatively modest club on the outskirts of the Egyptian capital, he was able to quietly go about his development, despite the team’s minor affiliation with Arsenal threatening to expose his budding promise. Such was his talent that he played an age-group up for much of his youth career.

At the age of 18, Marmoush was handed his senior debut for Wadi Degla in an Egyptian Premier League match with Al Ittihad Alexandria in July 2016, coming off the bench to grab an assist in a 3-2 win. He played and matured under Egypt legend Mido, who took an immediate shine to the youngster and afforded him more first-team opportunities.

And that’s when the European clubs began to circle. Marmoush received offers from Borussia Dortmund and Malaga, but instead opted to join Wolfsburg in 2017, later citing star striker Mario Gomez and Freddie Ljungberg – who enjoyed a brief coaching spell at the Volkswagen Arena – as major influences on his decision.

Not yet fully polished, Marmoush spent three years in Wolfsburg’s reserve team honing his craft before making a smattering of senior appearances. In 2020, he was sent on a season-long loan to St Pauli in the 2. Bundesliga, where a return of seven goals in 21 games signalled he was finally ready for top-flight football
