Manchester United need real attacking quality despite heavy spending in past years.
Over £600m was invested under former manager Erik ten Hag, yet the squad still lacks reliable goal-scoring options.
Rasmus Hojlund has struggled for consistency over the past year.
Joshua Zirkzee has also struggled to provide the goods in front of goal.
The potential departures of Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho could change everything.
Rashford has been at the center of transfer speculation for weeks.

Garnacho is attracting interest from Chelsea, who are pushing for a deal.
If both players leave, United must bring in a top-tier attacking replacement.
Manchester United have now made contact with Bayern Munich for Mathys Tel, according to Florian Plettenberg on X.
They are interested in a loan deal while sorting out player departures.
United remain firmly in the race for Tel, as reported earlier this week.
Both United and Bayern feel Tel is currently favoring a loan move.
This hesitation has prevented him from committing to Tottenham so far.
Spurs are pushing for a decision as they see Tel as their priority target.
Bayern’s Director of Football, Max Eberl, confirmed discussions are ongoing.
He stated that Bayern will soon decide whether it will be a loan or a sale.

United see Mathys Tel as a high-potential player who could thrive under Ruben Amorim.
His versatility and ability to play across the frontline with explosive pace makes him an ideal option.
A loan move would allow United to secure a high-quality player without overspending.
With Garnacho and Rashford’s exits looming, the move makes even more sense.
Tel has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Spurs, so it will be interesting to see what happens from now.
A player with such pace, agility and threat in behind would pose as a like-for-like replacement to losses of Rashford and Garnacho.
