Superliga, placing him five goals clear of Tonni Adamsen, who has 12 for Silkeborg IF.<\/p>\n<p>Across all competitions, he has already recorded 25 goal contributions in just 32 matches for Mike Tullberg\u2019s title-chasing side, and his prolific output has understandably attracted strong interest from several clubs, particularly in the <a

13-time Premier League champions, the report adds that Midtjylland are open to the Guinea-Bissau international centre-forward\u2019s departure in the summer, with United now eyeing a move.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Red Devils face stern competition from several top English and European clubs, including <a href=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/topics\/liverpool\/\"

<em>Deportivo<\/em> adds, a fee well within United\u2019s reach.<\/p>\n<p>United\u2019s attack have seen significant improvement compared to last season, after they spent heavily to reinforce it last summer.<\/p>\n<p>The attacking trio of Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, who netted the winner against <a href=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/topics\/chelsea\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"Chelsea news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chelsea<\/a> on Saturday, have been one of the league\u2019s most prolific this season, especially with Bruno Fernandes behind them.<\/p>\n<p>Their prolific form has led to United\u2019s 58-goal Premier League tally this season, the third-most in the league, behind only <a href=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/topics\/man-city-news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"6\" title=\"Man City news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Manchester City<\/a> (65) and <a

despite their attacking frailties from last season now seemingly solved, they could do with more firepower up front, especially with Joshua Zirkzee tipped to depart in the summer after failing to impress since his move from Bologna in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, Dju would be a viable option to compete with Sesko for a starting berth, not just for his prolific form but also for his meagre \u00a321m valuation, which would be an absolute steal for a player of his qualities.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--mvp-post-tags--><br
