LONDON: Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has grown frustrated with his attacking options this season and a highly-rated Mexican believes he is ready to make the step up.

Manchester United target Hirving Lozano has admitted he is desperate for a move to Old Trafford.

The Mexican striker was strongly linked with Jose Mourinho’s side last summer with reports in his homeland even claiming a deal had been struck.

Lozano, 21, ultimately stayed with his domestic side Pachuca and has netted 15 goals in 26 games this season.

That form has attracted the attention of a number of European giants – but ‘Chunky’ revealed he has his heart set on the Red Devils.

Speaking to Univision, he said, “I believe many [leagues] are beautiful, I like the English and the Spanish very much. But let’s see how things are and decide.”

“The one I would like most is Manchester, I like this club a lot and it’s a very important club,” he said.

Mourinho has grown frustrated with his attacking options this season and United have faltered in their chase for a top four spot in the Premier League.

The Special One has been critical of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial and, with top-scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic linked with a move to LA Galaxy, he is in the market for a striker this summer.
