Man Utd Pursues In-Form Striker Amid Transfer Doubts Over Star

With eyes on next season, the club plans recruitment to offset departures. A strong finish could improve the club’s bargaining power.
Rashford, midfield exits and wider planning

| Besiktas | 4th in the league and vying for Conference League spot |
Interest and obstacles
Turkish reports link Oh to United interest. Tottenham are also mentioned as possible competitors.
There are no confirmed contacts between clubs so far. Son Heung-min may influence Oh’s decision due to national team ties.
Other names under consideration
Rafael Leao remains a recurring name in discussions. Media commentators have questioned whether he fits as a central striker.
Concerns focus on his recent form and adaptation to different roles. Any move would carry risk and require careful assessment.
Iliman Ndiaye and Everton advice
