Manchester United reportedly turned their sights to signing Stade Rennais forward Martin Terrier after missing out on Cody Gakpo..




French outlet Média Foot reported on Wednesday that Manchester United had set their sights on Stade Rennais' French striker Martin Terrier after losing the chance to sign Cody Gakpo.


According to the report, Manchester United, which is in urgent need of reinforcement in the striker position, already regards Terrier as the best alternative plan after missing the chance to sign Cody Gakpo. It is expected that they will approach Terrier to fill their vacancy at the striker position.


In addition to Manchester United, the media also revealed that Tottenham Hotspur are also very interested in Terrier, and the Lilywhites has even started to contact Terrier's agents.


However, the report also added that at this stage, the two clubs will not rush into making an offer to Stade Rennais, but want to understand the personal terms and salary requirements that he wants from Terrier and his agent first before making further decisions.


In addition, there were also news that Manchester United, which is in the process of looking to be takenover, prefers a loan with an obligation to buy model in this winter transfer window, and wonderkids like João Félix of Atlético Madrid is still the most wanted target of the Red Devils, thus it remains to be seen whether the Premier League giants will actually make an offer to Stade Rennais for Terrier's transfer.


The 25-year-old Martin Terrier joined Stade Rennais from Olympique Lyon for €12 million in July 2020. He primarily plays as a left winger, but he can also be played as a center forward.


Terriers, who is in extremely hot form this season, has played 20 times for this Ligue 1 club in all competitions, scoring 11 goals and assisting 4 times.


Since August, Manchester United has been deeply interested in signing PSV Eindhoven's Netherlands international wonderkid forward Gakpo.


Unexpectedly, because the club's hierarchy has been reluctant to make an offer for some reason, their arch rival Liverpool has taken the opportunity to take advantage of it.


Just on Monday, the Eredivisie giants announced that they had reached an agreement with the Reds over the transfer of Gakpo. On Wednesday night, Gakpo was officially announced as Liverpool's new player.
