United handed condition to sign Mauro Icardi

Manchester United are in dire need of goal scorers with Alexis Sanchez, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial not firing as expected.

It is not news that manager Jose Mourinho has no trust in his forwards as he described some of them as having a childish mentality which to him cannot help his side.

Efforts have been put in place by the club to ensure new signings in the coming winter transfer window which reopens in coming weeks and one of the targets, Inter Milan goal Machine Mauro Icardi is now available.

Mauro Icardi has been on the radar of the Old Trafford side and has been tipped to bring the solution the Red Devils have been seeking for since the beginning of the season.

However, United are faced with a difficulty of having to meet just one condition before they can be allowed to go away with the Inter Milan player.

The condition put in place by the Italian giants is for the English Premier League giants to surrender French midfielder Paul Pogba in what could be a swap deal.

While United are desperate for a striker, it is unclear if they will be willing to let Pogba leave the club any time soon.

Meanwhile, the World Cup winner is willing to leave the Old Trafford but there are no chances he will fancy a move to San Siro.
