Erik ten Hag told Manchester United don't need Joao Felix amid transfer search

Manchester United have been told that they should not target Joao Felix for a transfer, with a different type of striker required for Erik ten Hag's project at Old Trafford.

Former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has outlined the reason why the Portugal international should not be a target for United this month amid reports linking him with a move. United have made a move to sign Wout Weghorst, the Netherlands international currently on loan at Besiktas from Burnley.

Felix, meanwhile, has struggled to establish himself at Atletico Madrid with struggles for the versatile forward to fit into Diego Simeone's system at the club. He is a versatile forward who can operate in a number of roles across the forward line, a very different profile to Weghorst, who is a more traditional focal point upfront.
