Rasmus Hojlund isn&#8217;t necessarily leaving Old Trafford, but Amorim is still seeking an upgrade, with both Liam Dellup and Viktor Gyoker heading elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Hugo Ekitike of Eintrak Frankfurt also appeared as a target, but the French forward rejected United in favor of a move to Liverpool while working.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, according to Sky Germany&#8217;s Florian Plettenberg, Mann United added Chelsea&#8217;s Nicholas Jackson to the list, ensuring that the signing of Bruce&#8217;s Dellup and Joa Pedro was a concern for Senegal International.<\/p>\n<p>    Chelsea&#8217;s price is 24 years old, at \u00a3100 million, which AC Milan registered interest in July, and United&#8217;s technical director Jason Wilcox will focus on hitting a more comfortable person&#8217;s deal as he is rushing to line up for attackers.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-man-utd-want-nicolas-jackson\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_a_man_want_Nicholas_Jackson\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>Why does a man want Nicholas Jackson?<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Two years ago, Chelsea signed Jackson from Villarreal for a reporting cost of \u00a332 million. He later won the Conference League and Club World Cup, earning 42 goal contributions from 81 matches in all competitions.<\/p>\n<p>    He&#8217;s not perfect. And it&#8217;s far from there. Jackson is raw and has no cool temperament in the final third. According to Sofa Scole, he missed 43 big chances in the Premier League, scoring only 24 goals in his two terms.<\/p>\n<p>But there are really good players out there. Jackson was just 24 last month and is already heading to become one of the more veteran strikers in the Premier League. He began his days of Enzo Maresca with solid footing before peeling off the second half of the semester.<\/p>\n<p>There are many things to like and welcome his &#8220;special&#8221; qualities by journalist Rahman Osman, and Jackson may even shape his own version of Ekitike, as mentioned above. He is dynamic and mobile, with a variety of attack outputs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"\" align=\"\" summary=\"\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"3\" scope=\"col\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Nicholas Jackson vs Hugo Echitoke (24\/25)<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<tbody>\n<\/tbody>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Statistics (per 90)<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>impartial<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Jackson<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>The goal scored<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>0.51<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>0.41<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>assist<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>0.29<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>0.20<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Shot taken<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>3.74<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>3.08<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Shot creation action<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>3.50<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>2.80<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Touch (on the pen)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>6.73<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>5.72<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Progressive Pass<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1.95<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1.54<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Progressive Carry<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>3.04<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1.91<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>A successful take-on<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1.90<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>0.73<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Ball recovery<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>2.75<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1.95<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Tackle + Intercept<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>0.81<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1.01<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"3\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><em>All data via FBREF<\/em><\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>While I don&#8217;t deny that Ekitike is a cleaner striker and more effective with his tools, Jackson is cut from a similar fabric and is not a static target man.
