Manchester United signed Rasmus Hojlund in the summer to improve their strike force, but the Danish forward has only two Premier League goals so far.
On the other hand, French international Anthony Martial has spent most of his time on the treatment table.
In such a situation, Manchester United has been looking to improve its assault, and sources suggest they have been offered the opportunity to sign Hugo Ekitike from Paris Saint-Germain.
According to TEAMtalk, the 21-year-old forward has been loaned to Manchester United and other Premier League clubs in a late deal this month until the end of the season.
However, due to financial issues, the Red Devils are reportedly unable to make the transfer.
Last season, Ekitike started 12 Ligue 1 games for PSG and provided 7 goals (3 goals and 4 assists).
The French champions spent big money in the summer on strikers like Goncalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani, and the teenager has primarily been out of the squad since.

This season, Ekitike, who makes roughly £115,000 per week, has only made one appearance for PSG, and that was for eight minutes in the league’s opening game.
Even after the introduction of new part owners, INEOS, Manchester United were unable to increase their team in January, and it appears that no new players will be signed before the winter window closes tonight.
