According to CaughtOffside, Manchester United is closely monitoring Paris Saint-Germain attacker Li Gangren. Since joining Paris Saint-Germain in 2023, Li Gangren has left a strong mark in the Ligue 1 arena with his outstanding ball skills and agile performance. This season, he has contributed 6 goals and 6 assists in various Paris Saint-Germain's competitions, and his offensive data is quite impressive. Whether it is the sharp dribbling breakthrough or the imaginative pass, Li Gangren has shown the potential of a world-class attacker.

Manchester United has a strong interest in Li Gangren, which has many considerations behind it. Inadequate offensive firepower has always been a dilemma faced by Manchester United this season, with only 44 goals in the Premier League, which obviously does not match Manchester United's status as a giant. Lee Gangren's creativity and scoring ability on the offensive end happen to be something Manchester United urgently needed.

Manchester United wants to use Park Ji-sung's story to impress Lee Gang-in, which is a good intention. Park Ji-sung's career at Manchester United is brilliant. He has followed the team to win important trophys such as the Premier League and the Champions League.

However, it is not easy for Manchester United to sign Li Gangren. On the one hand, Li Gangren is currently worth 30 million euros. If Manchester United wants to get him, the transfer fee is likely to be lower than this price. On the other hand, Li Gangren's transfer has attracted the attention of many European giants, and clubs such as Atletico Madrid, Naples, and Arsenal have expressed their interest in him, and the competition is extremely fierce. Especially Atletico Madrid, he tried to sign Li Gangren when he was playing for Majorca.

Paris Saint-Germain's attitude will also become the key to the transfer. Although Li Gangren's contract is still three years old, the club has priced it to €40 million to €50 million in order to avoid repeating the mistake of Mbappe's free departure. This price exceeded Manchester United's expectations, but considering Li Gangren's age, technical potential and market value, the Red Devils may have to accept a premium. Although the technical characteristics of Lee Gang-in and Park Ji-sung are different, their mental characteristics are highly similar. Both are known for their professional attitude and team sense, and have the psychological qualities to grow in a high-pressure environment. Li Gangren's technical comprehensiveness and tactical multi-facetedness provide a foundation for his adaptation to the Premier League.
