Manchester United pays attention to Ireland Kane, who has become a World Cup hero with 5 goals in 2 games! Amorin wants to sign a midfielder in the winter window

On this international match day, all fans around the world will not ignore the name of Troy Parrott. Manchester United also pays attention to the Irish shooter and believes that he may become the new Harry Kane. If it is necessary to introduce a forward in the future, he can be considered.

A week ago, Ireland seemed to have been determined to miss the World Cup, but the team created a miracle, first defeating Portugal 2-0, and then reversed and defeated Hungary 3-2, grabbing a place in the World Cup preliminaries play-offs next March. The 23-year-old Parrott is the number one contributor. He scored all 5 goals in the two games!

Among them, the winning goal in the 96th minute against Hungary not only helped Ireland secure qualification for the World Cup play-offs, but also made Parrott the first player in Irish history to score a hat-trick in an away game. He was also the first Irish international to score a hat-trick in an official game since Robbie Keane in 2014.

If Parrott can help Ireland qualify for the 2026 US-Canada-Mexico World Cup next year, he will definitely have his own statue in the country. The striker, currently playing for AZ Alkmaar in the Eredivisie, was once regarded as Kane's successor. He came from Tottenham's youth training system.

Premier League transfer expert Graeme Bailey revealed that Parrott is definitely not Manchester United's primary target, but if Zirkzee leaves the team in the future, he may become a good candidate to introduce a substitute forward.

"Now, all the teams in the Premier League are paying attention to Parrott. Will he be the next Kane? Everyone is analyzing it." Bailey said, "Manchester United knows Parrott. They have inspected him in the Dutch league and international arena. But I think Parrott is not Manchester United." United's active recruitment target, at least in January. By next summer, if they want to introduce another striker, Parrott may become a consideration."

Like Kane, Parrott's early career performance was mediocre. The most familiar scene for him was when he made his debut with Tottenham's first team at the age of 17. Mourinho personally gave him the game ball as a souvenir. However, after that, Parrott was continuously loaned out to lower-level teams and failed to achieve anything.

After the age of 20, Troy suddenly realized. Data shows that after moving to Alkmaar, Parrott scored 17 goals and 20 goals in two full seasons. This season, he also scored 13 goals and had 1 assist in 14 games. Therefore, his outstanding performance in the national team is also natural.

If Parrott can maintain this form and lead the Irish team to the World Cup, then the Premier League's giant clubs may rush to sign him next summer. Manchester United has historically had a close relationship with Irish football. Dublin, where Parrott was born, is an important distribution center for Red Devils fans. Parrott may have had "childish dreams" when he was a child.

However, it has been a long time since Manchester United had an Irish football hero since Roy Keane, Denis Irvine and John O'Shea. In the past few years, Manchester United had been involved in an affair with another Irish striker, Evan Ferguson, but the latter started high and low, and now his status has been surpassed by Parrott.

Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Manchester United’s priority target in the winter window is not a forward. Neither Parrott nor Bournemouth’s Semenyo are likely to join in January.

Romano explained: "There are three or four clubs interested in Semenyo, but there is nothing close to a deal, or even in-depth negotiations. It is too early to say, but I heard that Manchester United's main focus is on new midfielders."
