With Darwin Nunez joining Liverpool and Erling Haaland joining Manchester City, the options in an already sparse striker market have gotten even thinner this summer. Antony only have so much money to complete a major overhaul of their squad this summer so there will have to be some compromises.
But even cheaper options, like Gianluca Scamacca, are being snapped up by Champions League clubs, with DiMarzio reporting that the Italian striker is set to join Paris Saint-Germain as part of the French club's own rebuild. This leaves United and Erik ten Hag with limited, and very expensive, options.
So the question on many United fans' lips right now is, can Cristiano Ronaldo still do it? The Portuguese forward was the club's top scorer this past season with 24 goals in all competitions, with only Bruno Fernandes joining him in double figures with 10, but there were large parts of the season — especially under Ralf Rangnick — when Ronaldo did not score at all.
