First Cody Gakpo and now Joao Felix. A cynic or pessimist could certainly make an argument for Manchester United failing in the January transfer window.
United need a striker. Obviously. Erik ten Hag was already perilously low on firepower before Cristiano Ronaldo forced through his desired departure and now he has been left with only Marcus Rashford - better on the flanks - and the perenially-injured Anthony Martial to choose from.
The lack of choice hasn't had an adverse effect just yet. Ronaldo's last appearance for the club came in their last defeat, the 3-1 loss to Aston Villa. Since then United have scored 18 goals in seven games. In the 15 games prior, only 20 goals were scored. So there has been an obvious upturn already but more firepower is certainly needed if United are to compete and succeed on four different fronts.
