Anthony Martial has suffered yet another injury setback and we are under a month into the season. The striker missed Brighton and Brentford through injury and was only fit enough to play 45 minutes of Manchester United's game against Liverpool and then suffered an Achilles injury ahead of the win at Southampton.
It is disappointing given how well he played in preseason and also how quickly he seemed to adapt to Erik ten Hag's style of football. This leaves United with a problem however, Cristiano Ronaldo is still looking to leave the club and that would leave only Marcus Rashford available to play a makeshift striker role if Martial was to get injured again.
With a few days left of the summer window, the clock is ticking and with the Manchester Evening News understanding that United are confident of acquiring Antony and also still in the market for a goalkeeper and right back, this leaves limited funds available for another striker. But could the answer lie in a former player?
