Brian Brobbey's back on the agenda! Man Utd reignite interest in 13-goal Ajax striker despite 2022 rejection

Ten Hag would like to bring in Brobbey before the close of the January transfer window, according to Sky Germany. The Manchester United boss has been turned down by Brobbey before, with the striker revealing he snubbed a lucrative move to Old Trafford in 2022 in favour of a return to Ajax, despite receiving a phone call from Ten Hag in a bid to convince him to sign for the Red Devils. Ajax don't want to sell Brobbey now, which means Ten Hag may have to wait until the summer to land the attacker.

United have struggled for goals this season despite investing heavily in Rasmus Hojlund in the summer. Hojlund has only managed two Premier League goals so far but has toiled due to a lack of service. Brobbey has 13 goals and four assists in 25 matches this season for Ajax and still seems to be in Ten Hag's thoughts despite his previous snub.

Brobbey became the third-youngest player to score 30 Eredivisie goals for Ajax after Rafael van der Vaart and Kasper Dolberg when he netted against PEC Zwolle in December 2023, at the age of 21 years and 319 days.

Ten Hag has already raided his former club for Lisandro Martinez and Antony but it remains to be seen if he will go back again for Brobbey. The Red Devils have also been linked with a host of other attackers including Benjamin Sesko, Crystal Palace forward Michael Olise and Bologna's Joshua Zirkzee.
