With Cristiano Ronaldo having recently left Manchester United, Erik ten Hag will now be stepping up plans to recruit a new striker. MEN Sport reported recently that the Dutchman might look to sign a frontman in January.
Ronaldo had only managed three goals in 16 appearances for the Reds prior to his controversial interview with Piers Morgan. The Portuguese attacker had fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford, and the 37-year-old leaving the club was, in the end, the only option for all parties involved.
Ten Hag has previously spoken about the ability of Anthony Martial, suggesting that he sees the Frenchman as his first-choice striker. However, the 26-year-old has only featured on seven occasions in all competitions so far this season, albeit while registering four goals. Considering that, and the fact Marcus Rashford has looked more comfortable playing from the wing, United will undoubtedly be looking to sign a new striker next year.
