Manchester United keen to sign Amin Chiakha from Copenhagen
According to the latest reports in Denmark, Manchester United are very interested in signing Copenhagen prodigy Amin Chiakha this summer. The Danish prodigy has turned heads with his performances for the club’s under-19 team and has also caught the eye of the Red Devils.
Amin Chiakha started his youth career with Danish club Sundby BK. He joined Copenhagen’s academy in 2017 at the age of 11 and has been part of the club’s youth set-up ever since. His performances with the Copenhagen U-19s earned him considerable attention from major European clubs.
The 18-year-old has scored 29 goals and provided 3 assists this season in all competitions (stats via Transfermarkt). He also finished as the top scorer in the 2023-2024 UEFA Youth League. He also impressed with the national team, playing for the U-17 and U-18 teams.
As reported by Danish publication Tipsbladet (via Caught Offside), Manchester United have expressed interest in signing Copenhagen prodigy Amin Chiakha and plan to make a move this summer. The striker’s impressive performances have attracted the attention of the English club.
The Red Devils are renowned for nurturing and grooming young talent, with Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho being the most recent examples. The former English champions have done this in the past and can help the young Danish striker realize his true potential.
Additionally, the 18-year-old will have a huge stage to showcase his talent. It will be an exciting prospect for the striker and he will be looking forward to proving it at such a big club, under some of the best youth coaches. Moving to Old Trafford could prove very fruitful for the youngster.
Besides Ajax and Juventus, Manchester City and Manchester United are also interested in Amin Chiakha (2006), according to

Meanwhile, the Dane will be a major long-term asset for the Red Devils while adding quality and depth to their attacking department. The club’s poor performances this season have pushed them to opt for a major overhaul of their squad. Amin Chiakha is young, fast, skillful and has huge potential, making him ideal for Manchester United.
However, recruiting the Danish starlet won’t be an easy task. It is followed by a number of major European clubs from England, the Netherlands and Germany. The Red Devils face tough competition from their rival Manchester City.
There are two things that can create problems for Erik ten Hag’s team. Firstly, Man City are in a better financial situation than United, which can be a barrier when negotiating transfer fees. Secondly, the young star will have Pep Guardiola as manager of the Etihad. The Spaniard is currently one of the best coaches in the world, which will be a factor when the 18-year-old makes a decision.

The Red Devils will have to call on an attacker during this transfer window. They only have 21-year-old Rasmus Hojlund as their team’s center forward. They will need reinforcements and that means we are going to see a new face at Old Trafford, whether it is Amin Chiakha or someone else.
