Manchester United find themselves back in a very familiar place in the January transfer window. Only three years ago, former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was looking for a new striker midway through the season due to the club's reliance on Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.
Since then, Odion Ighalo, Edinson Cavani and Cristiano Ronaldo have all come and gone, with United still overly dependant on two forwards that have often played their best football on the left.
"We need more goalscorers, more goals, someone who wants to break their nose or toe to score," Solskjaer said of his striker search back in 2020. "It doesn't always have to be nice goals. I need to challenge them more."
