Despite last Tuesday’s 3-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day, Erik ten Hag, coach of Manchester United (Barcelona’s Europa League rivals), said that they are still looking for a striker in the winter window after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo in November. Against Nottingham Forest they scored Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Fred.
Missed chances against Nottingham Forest let Ten Hag down. “We need to score more goals. We create a lot of chances”, said the United coach, who did not want to assess that PSV winger Cody Gakpo preferred to sign for Liverpool despite having an offer from the Old Trafford club. “I’m not talking about individual cases. We’re looking for attacking players, we’re looking for a striker,” Ten Hag said.
“In all our games, we’ll play every 3 days and it’s tough. We’re always in the market, but the sporting and economic standards have to go hand in hand. We are doing our best to sign the player we want,” explained Ten Hag.
United are currently 5th in the Premier table, just one point behind Tottenham and in the Champions League. In addition, the Old Trafford team played one game less than Spurs. On Saturday, United visit Julen Lopetegui’s Wolves in Premier.
