So even Ole Gunnar Solskjaer now admits Manchester United are in major need of a striker.

The Norwegian saw both Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez depart Old Trafford this summer, but no replacement for the two forwards was brought in.

The United boss has now revealed “you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know it’s a forward we’re going to try to recruit next time”.

Further to that, The Athletic claim the Red Devils plan to make another swoop for Juventus forward Mario Mandzukic in the January transfer window, after they came “very close” to signing him in the summer.

After hearing about the club potentially going back in for the Croatia international, United fans flooded to Twitter to voice their opinions on the 33-year-old.

Many supporters of the Manchester side threw their backing behind a possible swoop, and one fan in particular suggested it “makes perfect sense”.

Some pointed to his huge level of experience as a major reason why United would be doing the right thing in targeting the 6 foot 3 striker again in the winter.
