The Manchester United boss is keen on bringing a striker to add to the ranks but has made it clear that the player has to be right as far as quality is concerned. There have been some growing concerns over Manchester United’s recruitment of players since Liverpool hijacked Cody Gakpo last night.

“See (Alejandro) Garnacho, (Anthony) Elanga, (Facundo) Pellistri, who made a good impression at the World Cup (for Uruguay). And, yes, we are aware we lost a striker, so I think yes, we have to get a striker in. But it has to be the right one, and the right one is the one… he needs to bring the quality in the team, and not just an add to the squad, because that gives you only problems. And. you know, the criteria is high here at Man United,” said Ten Hag.

Another concern for the Red Devils is the unsure condition of the club ownership. The situation is a bit complicated at the moment. Reports claim that the Glazers family is keen on selling the club, which is yet to progress. And therefore the owners are not willing to spill the cash in the winter transfer market.

United are therefore eager to find a loan deal for a player that matches their standard. But Ten Hag has made his intentions clear about recruiting players.

“Our squad is double occupied on most positions, but not up front. We are looking for an attacking player. I won’t tell you the profile. There are options, and we are working on a few options. If it meets our financial and sporting wishes, we will strike,” he concluded.
