'Biggest issue with him is injuries': Fans on Man United's links with 29-year-old Patrik Schick
He has 17 league goals this season.
Man United are reportedly interested in signing Bayer Leverkusen's Czech forward Patrik Schick this summer, as per Sky Germany.
Schick broke onto the scene with his incredible goal from near the half line for Czechia in Euro 2020. That wasn't it. He scored 24 goals in 27 games for Bayer Leverkusen that season.
However, in the two injury-plagued seasons that followed, he could only rack up 10 league goals combined (34 apps).
He seems to be back in form this season as he bagged 17 goals in 26 league games, but United fans are more worried about his injury record than his age.
Percy: "My biggest issue with him is injuries. This year, he hasn’t really been a nailed-on starter despite his numbers, so I understand why he wants to move."
Santana: "Turned 29 this January. We really could use an experienced striker, but I don't see why Leverkusen would sell."
Jive: "I’d be ok with it. We are about to be linked with every striker in the world though, so heap of salt here."
Fewr: "Couldn't care less if the next striker we buy is 49 years old, we just need a goal or 2."
Smio: "As a Czech, I would love Schick. He is a very good striker, 29, so not that old, and he offers good physicality alongside good technique. However, he does have a pretty worrying injury record. If he were to mostly stay fit, then he would be a nice boost to our attacking options.
"On the other hand, he isn't really a pressing forward nor someone who is rapid and is going to run channels like Gyokeres does. He is a different profile of a striker, I'd say he is someone who is good at what Hojlund is usually failing to execute, so maybe Amorim wants his striker right now to play more with his back to the goal and provide some hold-up play."
