Manchester United are reportedly interested in Nottingham Forest winger Callum Hudson-Odoi.
The Red Devils are set to overhaul their squad this summer following a woeful Premier League campaign that has left them languishing in 16th position with just two matches left to play.
The final third is one area in need of strengthening, considering Man United are the league’s fifth-lowest scorers with 42 goals from 36 matches.
While they are keen to recruit a new number nine, Man United are also on the lookout for players who can support the main striker in Ruben Amorim‘s 3-4-2-1 system.

Man United keeping tabs on Hudson-Odoi
According to Sky Sports News, Forest’s Hudson-Odoi is among those who are currently on Man United’s radar ahead of the summer window.
The update claims that the Red Devils are keeping a close eye on the player’s contract situation at the City Ground.
Man United are seemingly set to join Napoli and Roma in the race for his signature after the Italian clubs were linked with a move last month.
Hudson-Odoi is set to enter the final 12 months of his deal after signing a three-year contract upon his arrival from Chelsea in the summer of 2022.
While there may be uncertainty surrounding his future, there are believed to be talks taking place between the player’s camp and Forest over a potential new deal.

Why are Man United showing interest in Hudson-Odoi?
Hudson-Odoi has revitalised his career since he made the move to the City Ground in 2023, having established himself as a regular fixture in the Forest side.
The 24-year-old has started 25 of his 29 Premier League appearances this season, scoring five goals and providing three assists.
Hudson-Odoi has helped Forest qualify for European competition, with the club still harbouring hopes of securing Champions League qualification.
The former Chelsea man has largely been used as a left winger this season, but Man United would probably look to play him in one of the two number 10 positions.
The Red Devils will be aware of Hudson-Odoi’s ability to move the ball with purpose, demonstrated by the fact he is in the top 10 for progressive carries in the Premier League this season, as per FBref.
