Erik ten Hag's transfer stance on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as Man Utd search for striker

Manchester United have been linked with a shock swoop for former Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - but Erik ten Hag is in two minds about whether to sign the star.

The 33-year-old has scored 13 goals in 23 matches since joining Barcelona from the Gunners in January, but has since lost his place in the side following the arrival of Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich. The Catalan giants could therefore be looking to cash in on the Gabon international, despite signing him just seven months ago.

United are one of several teams to have expressed an interest in Aubameyang, but Ten Hag is reportedly not keen on signing him. That's according to The Athletic, who claim sources have downplayed the chances of moves for Aubameyang and fellow experienced marksman Mauro Icardi - two more players with impressive records over the course of their careers, but require excessive baggage.
