Manchester United will line up against Leeds United in their pre-season opener without a recognised senior striker in the squad.
With Marcus Rashford not involved after international duty and Anthony Martial not travelling as he continues to recover from injury, the options available to Erik ten Hag extend to wide forwards such as Jadon Sancho and Amad, and young prospects.
Shola Shoretire, Joe Hugill, Noam Emeran and Omari Forson are the quartet of youngsters seeking a role against the Championship club. None of those four will be regulars in the first team next season and with Martial's patchy injury record and Rashford's desire to play out wide, the necessity for a fresh Old Trafford centre forward is emphasised.
