Erik ten Hag eyes double summer transfer to solve Man Utd's 'ridiculous' problem

Erik ten Hag is poised to sign not one but two strikers as Manchester United look to up their level ahead of the 2023-24 season.

The Red Devils have their fate in their hands as they seek Champions League qualification, but the lack of a prolific central striker has been an issue. Top scorer Marcus Rashford - predominantly used from a wide role - has 16 league goals, but no other member of their squad has even half as many.

Anthony Martial has five league goals in an injury-hit season, while both of Wout Weghorst's strikes since his January arrival have come in cup competitions. However, with a big-money double swoop planned, United could begin next season with an experienced goal-getter and one of the best young talents in support.
