The Red Devils have been linked with the star but former Germany international Markus Babbel believes he'd be better off elsewhere
Manchester United have been told to stay away from Borussia Dortmund and Germany striker Niclas Fullkrug despite the 'perfect' 31-year-old's impressive 2024 European Championships campaign.
Whilst they're yet to get their summer transfer window underway, there have been calls for Man United boss Erik ten Hag to go after Fullkrug, who many see as an old-fashioned centre-forward in a ever-increasing world of tactical micro management. With the departure of Anthony Martial, and potentially Marcus Rashford, it leaves United with Rasmus Hojlund - an exciting but relatively raw prospect - and no real experience going forward.
On top of that, United have already done business with Dortmund in recent windows having facilitated the loan move of winger Jadon Sancho to the Bundesliga side, who is set to return to Carrington next week. However, speaking exclusively as part of bet365’s Euro 2024 coverage, former Premier League defender and Germany international Markus Babbel believes that Fullkrug isn't the answer to Ten Hag's issues going forward.
"Fans love him because he's normal. He's not a superstar. He's not doing crazy things. So the supporters love him and I think it's a fantastic option to have. Kai Havertz is very skilful. He's a different kind of striker. Niclas Fullkrug is the typical number nine.
