Manchester United didn’t add a new forward to the squad during the summer transfer window, which closed late on Tuesday night, but it has been reported that “some players” thought a new striker would have been a smart move.
United spent the summer focusing on central midfield, recruiting Andrey Santos, Youri Tielemans and Carlos Baleba for up to $209 million (£155 million). It had been a problem position last season due to a lack of depth, then exacerbated by Casemiro’s decision to leave as a free agent and Manuel Ugarte suffering a long-term injury at the World Cup.
