Manchester United will attempt to sign Roma forward Tammy Abraham next summer, according to a report.

Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Roma centre-forward Tammy Abraham during next summer's transfer window.

The England international made the move to the Italian giants from Chelsea in August 2021, and he has impressed during his time in Rome, scoring 29 goals and registering eight assists in 65 appearances.

Last season, Abraham found the back of the net on 27 occasions in 53 appearances in all competitions, in addition to providing six assists.

Meanwhile, he has scored twice and provided two assists in 12 outings for Jose Mourinho's side this term.

Abraham has another four years left to run on his contract in Rome, but there was speculation surrounding his future over the summer, with a number of clubs credited with an interest.

Chelsea are said to have a buy-back clause of €80m (£66.7m) for Abraham, with the Blues able to activate it next summer, but Arsenal are also believed to be admirers.

According to journalist Simon Phillips, there is also interest from Man United, with the 20-time English champions keen to explore the possibility of signing him ahead of the 2023-24 campaign.

"I am told that Manchester United are keen on signing Abraham in the summer," Phillips told GIVEMESPORT.

The 25-year-old scored 30 times and registered 12 assists in 82 appearances for Chelsea, but he left the Blues in search of regular action, with Roma providing him the opportunity to showcase his skills.

Abraham was recently asked about his future in Italy and refused to rule out a return to Stamford Bridge in the future when addressing the clause that exists.

"For me my focus is to do exactly what I did last year here," he told journalist Ojora Babatunde. "I'm happy here, the team is good, the manager is good. The city, the fans, I'm happy. Only God knows the future."

Abraham has scored twice and registered two assists in nine Serie A appearances this term but is yet to find the back of the net in the Europa League.

Man United are expected to spend big on a new centre-forward next summer, with Cristiano Ronaldo's contract at Old Trafford due to expire at the end of the campaign.

Anthony Martial had seemingly been earmarked to lead the line for the Red Devils this term, but the Frenchman has already suffered three separate injuries in the early stages of the 2022-23 season.
