Manchester United are preparing a surprise bid for West Ham United captain Jarrod Bowen as they look to bolster their attack ahead of the summer transfer window. The Red Devils have joined Premier League rivals Liverpool and Chelsea in the race for the England international. Old Trafford officials are closely monitoring the London club's precarious position in the league table. According to Goal.com reports .
According to The Guardian, if West Ham are relegated to the Championship, the club will need to raise over £100 million. Manchester United are looking to capitalize on this situation to secure the player's services. Having secured a Champions League spot following their victory over Liverpool, United remains an attractive option for the experienced Bowen.
The most intriguing aspect of the transfer is that Manchester United intend to use the 29-year-old in an unconventional position. Having spent most of his career as a right winger or center-forward, Bowen is being eyed as a left winger at Old Trafford. This plan signals the club's desire to increase versatility in their attacking line.
As the club nears a two-year contract extension with Michael Carrick, such tactical shifts are being viewed as the start of a new era. Speaking on his future, Bowen emphasized that he reflects deeply before making decisions at the end of every season. Currently, the player's focus is on the decisive match against Leeds United.
Liverpool have long viewed Bowen as a potential replacement for their stars, while Chelsea are monitoring the situation as they continue their aggressive transfer policy under new ownership. With Manchester United now joining the race, the competition is set to intensify.
