Sunderland HubSunderland striker Brian Brobbey is a summer target for Manchester United. The 24-year-old Dutchman had an impressive debut campaign for the Black Cats, scoring seven goals and helping the team finish 10th in the Premier League with 46 points from 32 games.
What's behind the interest?
Manchester United are considering a summer swoop for Brobbey after his impressive performances for Sunderland. The Red Devils are said to be "very much keen" on the Sunderland striker.
Why it matters for Sunderland
Sunderland signed Brobbey from Ajax last summer for a fee worth around £17 million. The Black Cats were undeterred by the drop in form, believing the Netherlands international's potent pairing of speed, size, and strength lent itself perfectly to the rigours of English football.
