Former striker Dimitar Berbatov has outlined what Manchester United must look for when it comes to signing a striker this summer, insisting that the chosen candidate must hit a range of different criteria.
United, who will get their pre-season preparations underway against Leeds United in Oslo in three weeks' time, are desperate to strengthen their attacking options this summer with the addition of a new No.9. United, with the exception of Marcus Rashford, were unable to rely on a consistent goalscorer in 2022/23, meaning manager Erik ten Hag has prioritised the signing of a new centre-forward.
As revealed by the Manchester Evening News back in March, the Dutchman has pinpointed Tottenham Hotspur ace Harry Kane as his top target, but United are understood to be working under the assumption that Spurs will not sell the England captain. They are continuing to monitor other options.
