Erik ten Hag has clarified any attacking addition Manchester United make in the January transfer window has to match their sporting and financial criteria.
Ten Hag confirmed at the start of December he wants to sign a forward to offset the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, with United only on a goal difference of +3 with 23 goals in 15 Premier League games.
Sources at United have indicated a loan signing is the likeliest scenario after the club decided against bidding for Cody Gakpo, who left PSV EIndhoven for Liverpool in a £37million move this week.
