Mauro Icardi has developed into one of the most sought after strikers in Europe since joining Inter Milan as a youngster in 2013 from Sampdoria. The Argentine has scored an impressive 120 goals in 202 appearances for the Nerazzurri.

His exemplary performances and his leadership skills saw him being named Inter Milan captain in 2015, despite being only 22-years old. The Argentine has been a consistent performer, and played a crucial role in Inter Milan's return to the UEFA Champions League, despite failing to qualify for the round of 16.

Icardi has an eye for goal, and has already notched 9 goals in 14 Serie A appearances for Inter Milan this season.

His tactical intelligence of mainly operating centrally in the penalty area makes him a very dangerous striker, and could make him a nice addition to Manchester United, as he is an efficient finisher with both feet.
