Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is actively pursuing the recruitment of an additional striker this summer following Rasmus Hojlund's recent struggles.
Despite holding the sixth position in the Premier League, United's tally of 45 goals in 31 matches is eclipsed by 10 other teams in the league.
While Hojlund showcased promise with a six-game scoring streak between December and February, the £72 million ($92m) acquisition has faltered to find the net again since sustaining a muscle injury six weeks ago.
Consequently, Ten Hag is eager to strengthen the squad's attacking options. Emphasizing the importance of having a reliable scorer for the upcoming season, he believes it would provide valuable assistance to the team.
Ten Hag further stressed the necessity of having multiple options and adequate coverage in each position to avoid being limited by a lack of choices, a scenario that negatively impacted the team's performance in certain positions during the previous season.
Despite receiving financial backing since taking over the role in 2022, Ten Hag's position at Old Trafford remains uncertain as their performance has declined this season.
It remains unclear whether Ten Hag will have the opportunity to secure the desired players during the upcoming transfer window.
Hojlund, aged 21, has netted 13 goals in 34 matches across all competitions. However, it is evident that the former Ajax manager is seeking additional attacking prowess moving forward.
