Red Devil’s Lack Of No.9 Could Haunt Them
Manchester United looks to resolve the no. 9 issue as soon as possible. They cannot afford to lose points during the second half of the season. At the moment, Manchester United have Anthony Martial as their striker but he is too prone to injuries. He is currently out of form, which makes him a doubt in Ten Hag’s starting eleven. The Red Devils very well know that a lack of striker could haunt them in the second half of the season. Marcus Rashford and Elanga are suitable options at the moment but to compete against teams like Liverpool, Manchester City, and Chelsea you need to have your best squad.
“It is always difficult, strikers are expensive and especially in the winter, you set the limits high so maybe we have to be creative,”
Erik Ten Hag said.
“We do everything in our power to get it done and get the right player who fits the balance.”
Manchester United are a cheap stake at the moment after spending millions during the summer transfer window. Ronaldo’s exit has left the Red Devils with £10m in saved wages. A loan at the moment would be the best suitable option for the Red Devils.
