Manchester United need a new striker and they need one as soon as possible.
The club's plan to wait until the summer before investing heavily once more remains wise but they were already low on options before Cristiano Ronaldo's dramatic departure. Now Erik ten Hag has been left with just Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial to lead his line.
They are both playing well at present but to rely on either to remain on a hot streak or injury free for the entire campaign would be fanciful. United are competing on multiple fronts and if they want to return to the Champions League - so they can be in the race to sign the best available forwards, such as Victor Osimhen, in the summer - then they need to reinforce the attacking arsenal now.
