The winter market is disappointing for Erik ten Haag, as the Manchester United board has yet to meet their desire to add a center forward to their squad to improve the team’s performance in the second half of the season.
“It’s no secret that I want another striker”Ten Hag admitted today at the press conference ahead of United’s match against West Ham at Old Trafford on Sunday.
With Martial out, only Hojlund is left
“With Martial’s injury We really don’t have a replacement,” Ten Hag justified the need to sign a forward. “But it wasn’t possible because we had to follow the rules of Financial Fair Play,” he lamented with resignation when he left. with Rasmus Hojlund as the only natural which is ‘9’.
Martial underwent surgery last week on a groin injury and will be out for two and a half months.
The options you are left with
“We have Omari [Forson], we have Amad DialloOf course we have Rashford, who can play there? I think for the rest, all positions are filled. But yes, we have to be creative if necessary,” explained Ten Hag, who had to look for other alternatives.
Omari Forson He is a 19-year-old English winger who made his debut in the Premier League on Thursday when he entered the final moments of the match that won in extra time against Wolverhampton (3-4). For his part, the Ivorian Amad Diallo21 years old, also playing on the left wing.
Ten Hag not only failed to sign but were also forced to release several players in the winter market to comply with regulations. “To make room for Financial Fair Play, you have to sell players and you have to sell good players. “I don’t think that’s the way to build a team,” He sentenced with acrimony.
