The task of trying to sign a striker is already appearing more troublesome than some Manchester United fans might have first thought.
With just over a fortnight to go until the January transfer window officially opens for business, United are being linked with a plethora of names to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the second half of the season. Manager Erik ten Hag, who will watch his side resume their campaign against Burnley in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening, has admitted that he is determined to add a new goal-getter to his ranks and increase the Reds' attacking output.
But as any football club or manager will tell you, signing a striker is a much easier said than done task. Strikers are the players that cost the most money and are most heavily scrutinised every time they step out onto the pitch.
