According to Goal.com, Paris Saint Germain have pulled the plug on a deal to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, leading Mirror Football to claim Manchester United have been placed on red alert.

What’s the Word?

According to the report, PSG’s new Sporting Director, Antero Henrique, believes that the Gabon international is too expensive and will look for other attacking options ahead of the new season.

While the French club are well known to be free-spenders, Henrique’s arrival has reportedly signified a swift end to their pursuit of Aubameyang, who already has Ligue 1 experience with Monaco, Lille and Saint-Etienne.

Now, the The Mirror are reporting that Manchester United have been put on red alert by the news regarding Aubameyang, whose transfer market value is £56million, according to transfermarkt.

How good was Aubameyang last season?

To put it simply, Aubameyang was one of the most lethal goalscorers in world football last season. The 27-year-old scored an incredible 40 goals in 45 appearances in all competitions for Borussia Dortmund.

His outrageous speed combined with his incomparable finishing ability was highlighted in abundance during his last Bundesliga campaign and further enhanced his reputation as one of the best players in Europe today.

Should Manchester United make an offer?

While a potential move for Real Madrid star Alvaro Morata continues to rumble on, Manchester United would be wise to act quickly.

With Anthony Martial looking completely out-of-form, Wayne Rooney likely to depart the club and Zlatan Ibrahimovic having already left, Jose Mourinho needs to bolster his front line as soon as possible.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is approaching the prime years of his career and his current form could easily transfer to the Premier League. Now that Paris Saint Germain are out of the race to sign the Gabon international, Jose Mourinho should consider Aubameyang his number one target.
