Manchester United, who have repeatedly spoken of their desire and need to add to their attack will feel the sting of missing out on the talented striker. Borussia Dortmund on the other hand, have suddenly made their attack even more terrifying.
The German Club will hope that he can continue his form from the Group Stage of the Champions league that saw him score 8 goals in 6 appearances. With RB Salzburg out of the Champions league, he is available to play for them in their round of 16 match against PSG.
