Manchester United will be in the market for a new striker in the summer.
Stretty News understands that search has yet to be determined by what type of profile United, spearheaded by the Ineos Sports group, are seeking because the club wants to respect Rasmus Hojlund and his development in the team.
The 21-year-old is the only recognised centre-forward at the club because Anthony Martial no longer counts. It’s time to add competition to the striker department and we need to get rid of the French sicknote.
In turn, we suspect United will be linked with a number of strikers in the coming months.
Today’s headlines see the Reds linked with one of Serie A’s most promising strikers. Sound familiar?
We also take a look at reports suggesting our soon-to-be announced sporting director, Dan Ashworth, has met privately with former Brighton and Chelsea manager Graham Potter in the last week.
