Erik ten Hag has already hinted why Manchester United might want two strikers in transfer window

With just two months to go until the start of the 2023/24 Premier League season, it is impossible to predict who will spearhead Manchester United's attack in their season opener against Wolves.

Manager Erik ten Hag, who oversaw an excellent job in his first season in charge, has made signing a striker his primary objective in this summer's transfer window. United were too reliant on Marcus Rashford's contributions in front of goal this season, meaning they must bring in a recognisable No.9 to ease the burden on his shoulders.

However, United are working under the assumption that Spurs will not sell their star asset this summer.
