Erik ten Hag’s need for a striker this summer comes as news to no-one but it is the most important transfer of his Manchester United reign so far.
His task is made even more difficult by the lack of clarity over how the takeover process will conclude, meaning he has no idea how much he will have to spend in the transfer window.
While a forward is the primary goal, it is by no means the only one. A new midfielder is also required, preferably of a younger age. It is likely that United will see more outgoings than incomings this summer.
