Over the last few years, Manchester United have been looking for a top striker to join their ranks and lead the attacking line.
Unfortunately for Ruben Amorim, the search looks to continue with Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee failing to deliver on the goals front, with only 12 goals scored all season between with pair.
Zirkzee arrived at the club in the summer from Bologna for £35 million, whilst Hojlund arrived the year before from Atalanta for £62 million.
The combined £97 million for the pair was just under a sixth of the total transfer spend under Erik ten Hag, with the recruitment team still looking for a prolific striker.
Now, United are looking at players like Victor Osimhen and Liam Delap, however one of their recent targets is now looking set to leave Europe.
