Undoubtedly, Manchester United Football Club is set to intensify efforts in bolstering their attacking options under the management of Erik ten Hag when the transfer window reopens.
The Premier League powerhouse made significant additions to their squad during the summer transfer window, securing the services of Mason Mount, Rasmus Hojlund, and Andre Onana. Despite these marquee signings, Manchester United has faced challenges in front of goal this season, particularly with the underperforming winger Antony. In light of this, the club is actively seeking a potential replacement.
Recent reports suggest that Manchester United has expressed interest in pursuing a transfer for the highly-rated Real Sociedad winger, Takefusa Kubo, in the coming year. The 22-year-old Japanese international joined Real Sociedad in 2020 after leaving LaLiga side Real Madrid and has become a vital member of the first team.

During the 2022/2023 season, Kubo showcased his talent, scoring nine goals and providing nine assists in 44 appearances across all competitions. He has continued his impressive form in the ongoing season, contributing six goals and four assists in 26 matches.
Manchester United’s keen interest in Kubo has been highlighted in reports from Transfer News Live, indicating the club’s desire to secure his signature as an ideal replacement for the struggling Antony. The reports underline Antony’s challenging start to the season, having failed to score a single goal in all competitions, prompting speculation about his potential replacement in the upcoming year.
The likelihood of Manchester United reaching an agreement with Real Sociedad to secure the transfer of Takefusa Kubo during the 2024 transfer window remains uncertain.
