Man United plot summer move for Danny Ings

Manchester United are closely monitoring the rise of Southampton forward Danny Ings.

The 28-year-old striker has had his injury problems during the current campaign but has enjoyed another impressive season for the Saints, netting 12 goals in 28 top flight appearances.

The England international will see his contract at St Mary’s expire at the end of next season and it has been widely suggested that the forward will be on the move during this summer’s transfer window.

Tottenham Hotspur have emerged as rumoured suitors for Ings, but according to The Telegraph, Manchester United are contemplating a move for the former Bournemouth youngster.

The report adds that the Mancunian giants are hoping to take advantage of the player’s contract situation to sign him for a cut-price fee.

Man Utd have also been linked with a number of other targets with the likes of Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Braut Haaland, but Ings would be available on cheap.

Ings has scored 46 goals in 99 appearances for the Saints in all competitions.
