Manchester United reported has interested to bought Bayern Munich player Eric Maxim Choupo-Motting and the rumours say Ten Hag want this player in this January and Ten Hag feel Choupo-Motting game of style are suitable for his strategy so he will attempts to get Choupo-Motting and indeed Choupo-Motting contract will be expired soon and Bayern actually has offering him new contract but the negotiation still went to deadlock because he want long duration contract and Manchester United have tried to take advantage of this situation and although some people believe Choupo-Motting will stay at Bayern and extended his contract but maybe if Manchester United offering good deal he will be considering that offer
There are lots of wild speculations and rumors that we have not been able to prove to be legit. So far, there are many players who have always linked the Red Devils this January. but unfortunately, no statement has been issued by Ten Hag through its official statement. to be sure, Erik Ten Hag has asked management to buy several players to be brought to Old Tranford this January. So far Ten Hag's attention to bring in a striker is purely as the team needs at this time. the reason is, Ten Hag knows that he will not always be able to rely on Marcus Rashford let alone Martrial.
As for Choupo-Motting, he still has a contract until next summer. reportedly, he is not interested in extending his contract with Bavaria. why, because he knows very well if Bayern bring in a striker who is more established and sharp. automatically Choupo-Motting, will again become a second line-up player, which is why he is reluctant to maintain his contact with Die Bayern.
on the other hand, Bayern will not let him go this January because after all they still need his services at least until the end of the season. so, I believe this rumor is not valid.
Although Choupo-Moting's contract finishes next season if I'm not wrong but still I don't think he's going to be the right fit for Manchester United. So far even with Bayern Munich, he has not been that much consistent even after the departure of Robert Lewandowski.
Another thing is that he is a mediocre-level striker which a team like Manchester United might not like. They need a striker who can score on a regular basis and Choupo-Moting is not something like that. I think they should try to buy some other player instead of him.
