"Manchester United are interested in signing former Tottenham Hotspur striker Troy Parrott, according to United In Focus . Parrott failed to make a huge impact at Tottenham, but the Republic of Ireland international striker has been on fire for AZ. The 23-year-old has scored 33 goals and given seven assists in 61 appearances for AZ so far in his career."
"Journalist Graeme Bailey said: "He is a name that everyone in the Premier League is now looking at him. Is he the new Harry Kane? People are wondering. "United are aware, they have seen in him domestically in Holland and internationally - but not an active target for them, I don't believe....January, that is anyway. Come the summer, if they want another forward, he could be considered.""
Manchester United are monitoring Troy Parrott, a former Tottenham striker now playing for AZ. Parrott struggled to make a major impact at Tottenham but has excelled at AZ, scoring 33 goals and providing seven assists in 61 appearances. Some observers question whether he could be a comparable striker to Harry Kane. United have watched his performances domestically in the Netherlands and at international level, but he is not currently an active transfer target for January. The club could consider him as a summer signing if another forward is sought. Manchester United sit seventh in the Premier League with 18 points from 11 matches.
