With just three days to go until the transfer window officially opens, it's no secret that Manchester United are prioritising signing a striker this summer.
After a successful first season under Erik ten Hag, in which plenty of progress was made, United have ambitions of taking the next step in 2023/24. For that to become a reality the purse strings on Ten Hag's transfer budget need to be loosened.
The Dutchman wants to bolster several departments within his squad, but ongoing uncertainty surrounding the prospect of a takeover means he may not have the funds to get what he wants. It is, though, understood that funds have been set aside for the former Ajax boss to bring in the striker that he desperately craves.
