Erik ten Hag confirms Man Utd are ready to sign Cristiano Ronaldo replacement

Manchester United are "looking for a striker" with a matter of days remaining before the January transfer window opens, Erik ten Hag has confirmed.

The Red Devils are keen to address their shortage of attacking options after terminating Cristiano Ronaldo's contract by mutual consent in November. Despite Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial setting United on course for a dominant 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night, a lack of depth was clear to see when glancing at the hosts' bench at Old Trafford.

United are still competing in four competitions as a hectic 2023 schedule approaches, leaving Ten Hag in no doubt that a new addition will be required in the winter window. The Dutch manager was speaking after his side were beaten to the signature of Cody Gakpo, who is leaving PSV Eindhoven to join arch-rivals Liverpool in a £45million transfer.
