While Manchester United was previously thought to have a foothold in the race to sign him, it now appears that they may miss out, with Ajax having taken the lead.

According to Football Insider, Manchester United has expressed strong interest in signing Sulemana, with John Murtough, the club's director of football, doing the talking on their behalf.

However, with Ajax thought to have tabled a concrete offer for the striker and Manchester United still on the verge of making their interest official, Sulemana may be heading to Amsterdam.

While the club would survive without Sulemana, the fact that Murtough has been outmanoeuvred by Ajax will be a source of concern for Manchester United supporters ahead of a pivotal summer.
