He scored a stunning 31 goals and provided another 14 assists from 51 games.<\/p>\n<p>With a year left on his contract, Porto are open to selling him for \u20ac20 million.<\/p>\n<p>United boss Erik ten Hag \u2018appreciates\u2018 the striker\u2019s qualities, but the Red Devils now face fresh competition from the Nerazzurri for the 30-year-old star.<\/p>\n<p>Simone Inzaghi\u2019s side are exploring a deal for the Iranian after cooling their pursuit of Romelu Lukaku.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Taremi would be a quality back-up striker<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Taremi has been linked with a Premier League move for some time. United are one of his long-term admirers, but they need to be quick in negotiations with Porto.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from Inter, Arsenal are also keen on the former Rio Ave man. Taremi appears to be eyeing a Champions League club after rejecting a move to Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n<p>United are currently considering an approach for Atalanta\u2019s Rasmus Hojlund, but we won\u2019t be surprised if Ten Hag persuades the club to sign Taremi as a back-up striker.<\/p>\n<p>Anthony Martial has hardly been reliable with his persistent injury woes. He missed 29 games with setbacks last season, and there is a possibility he could be sold.<\/p>\n<p>Taremi would be a good addition to the squad. He is a far more accomplished striker than Wout Weghorst, who had a poor loan stint from Burnley last season.<\/p>\n<p>The Primeira Liga star has a strong aerial presence and likes to hold-up play. He has superb finishing skills, but also has the ability to create chances for his teammates.<\/p>\n<p>Taremi is also good with his distribution in the final third. His all-round attributes would suit Ten Hag. He may want a second striker, who could change the dynamic of games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manutdnews.com &#8211; MILAN, Inter Milan have joined the race to sign Manchester United target Mehdi&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26307,"featured_media":49355,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[84,212,93],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-49354","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-c47-featured-news","category-iranian-legionnaires","category-c22-players-spotlight"],"views":1032,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49354","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26307"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49354"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49354\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49356,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49354\/revisions\/49356"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49355"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49354"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49354"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49354"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
