Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker believes the Reds should explore the possibility of signing Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic to try and increase their attacking output.
United, who will be looking to end 2022 on a high when they travel to Molineux to face Wolves on Saturday, are the lowest scorers currently camped inside the Premier League's top seven, scoring just 23 goals so far this season. Their 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Tuesday evening gave them a healthier-looking goal difference of plus three, but it still requires a lot more improvement.
Reds boss Erik ten Hag has already confirmed that he wants to add a striker to his ranks in next month's transfer window, but the Manchester Evening News understands that the club are set to explore the possibility of bringing in a temporary solution on loan, with a view to sourcing someone permanent in the summer. United had set their eyes on Cody Gakpo but he has since sealed a move to Liverpool.
