Manchester United fans name the three strikers they want this summer

Manchester United look on course for a strong finish to the year in what has been Dutch coach Erik ten Hag's first season at the club. The team have already bagged the Carabao Cup, are in prime position to finish in the top four and are still competing for two more cup titles in the FA Cup and Europa League.

If you can ignore the embarrassing 7-0 defeat to arch-rivals Liverpool on Sunday you can say there's a lot to be happy about for United fans. However, with just 13 games left to play, many are already looking at the summer transfer window where teams including Manchester United will be looking to make reinforcements ahead of next year's campaign.

Ten Hag will be looking for a striker and midfielder as a minimum this summer and it seems like the United fans who the MEN spoke to before their Europa League clash with Real Betis on Thursday (March 9) were on the same page for the need of a goal-scoring number nine.

England and Tottenham Hotspur captain Harry Kane and Nigerian and Napoli frontman Victor Osimhen were the two names that were on the lips of United supporters when asked who they would like to see join the club next season. Floridian-born DJ to the stars DJ Scheme was a big fan of Osimhen, telling the MEN: "We need Victor! We need Batman 'ting. Napoli bring him over, bring over a proper striker. I need a new right back too, I love Dalot, I love Wan Bissaka but I need someone challenging for that position."

Another fan who agreed with DJ Scheme's sentiments said: "100% we need a striker, Osimhen would be nice. He wants to play in the Prem as well."

While another who preferred the Premier League proven Kane said: "We need a new striker, we've got to splash out on Harry Kane. We've got to win it next year so Harry Kane will win it."

United fan Sylvenus said while he appreciated Osimhen's talents he felt as though young Benfica striker Goncalo Ramos may be better suited to the club. He told the MEN: "Osimhen is a good striker but I don't know if he can fit. Harry Kane is old so we need a young striker like Ramos from Benfica."
