Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has admitted his side needs new strikers after struggling in the position all season.
The Red Devils have been linked with moves for Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen amongst others with a new No 9 set to be the Dutchman’s top target in the summer.
“I think everyone knows, it’s not a secret that we in the long term and over the whole season have a shortage of number nines,” Ten Hag said.
“Because first, we had the drop-out of (Cristiano) Ronaldo, then Anthony Martial was often not available, Jadon Sancho was often not available. Then you have a shortage of front-line players.
“With fewer players, we have to cover many games. Definitely, in the front line we need players who strengthen the squad.
“You can approach it in many ways. A typical number nine, (or) Rashford can also play very good as a number nine. Anthony Martial is a great number nine.
“So we have players who can play in that role, but definitely we need some offensive players who are really impact players, quality players who improve the front line.”
