Mirror: Manchester United executives privately admit that there is likely no new striker against Arsenal on August 17

July 24th News The Mirror reported that Manchester United is preparing to start the new season without a new striker.

Last season, Manchester United scored only 44 goals in the Premier League, and finally ranked 15th, their lowest ranking in 51 years. Therefore, in this summer's transfer window, introducing forwards has become the team's top priority. However, so far, Manchester United has signed only two players, including Cunha, who was introduced from Wolves for £62.5 million and Mbemo who was introduced from Brentford for £71 million, but neither of them are typical No. 9 strikers.

Manchester United's top forward targets have chosen to join other teams: Drapp joins Chelsea, Yorke is close to joining Arsenal, and Ekitic will join Liverpool. In this case, Manchester United executives privately admitted that they are likely to have no new striker in their Premier League opening match against Arsenal on August 17.

Manchester United remained interested in Paris Saint-Germain striker Muani, who had followed him two years ago but eventually signed Hoylen for a £72 million high. Jackson's status at Stamford Bridge was reduced by the joining of Drapp and Joao Pedro, both of whom were ahead of him in terms of selection order. Manchester United's transfer strategy this summer is to focus on players with Premier League experience who do not need to adapt to the situation and can play an immediate role. Jackson is also a viable option, which can not only solve the striker's problem, but also send Garnacho away.
