Manchester United's attempt to sign Benjamin Sesko this summer transfer window was far from subtle.
Erik ten Hag made no secret of United's desire to strengthen their attacking options this season. Six new players have arrived under the Dutchman, but only Christian Eriksen and Antony are likely to regularly have a direct impact on goal contributions throughout the campaign.
There is also the ongoing ever present issue of Cristiano Ronaldo's future. The 37-year-old has not started a Premier League match for Ten Hag since the sobering 4-0 defeat to Brentford. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner had wanted to leave Old Trafford in pursuit of Champions League football - a move that failed to materialise.
