Erik ten Hag has confirmed that before the January transfer window opens, Manchester United are "looking for a striker."
After agreeing to terminate Cristiano Ronaldo's contract in November, the Red Devils are eager to address their lack of attacking options. Even though Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial set Manchester United up for a dominant 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night, the hosts' bench at Old Trafford lacked depth.
Ten Hag is certain that United will require a new player during the winter window because they are still competing in four competitions as the hectic 2023 schedule draws closer. The Dutch manager was speaking after his team lost out on signing Cody Gakpo, who is moving from PSV Eindhoven to Liverpool for £45 million.
Ten Hag stated on Amazon Prime Video following the victory over Forest, "We are always in the market." We do our best. I do not discuss individual instances. With so many games coming up, we are looking for a striker. We want to remain in all of our leagues. Therefore, you require figures."
Ten Hag was impressed with his attackers in midweek, despite the fact that he said United chiefs are looking for a new center forward. "I'm really happy with his performance once again," the former Ajax manager told BBC Match of the Day. "It was not only Rashford." He is following a really good pattern, and it will be beneficial for both him and us if he adheres to this pattern and spirit.
