With a place in the top-four still to secure and two major trophies to fight for, Erik ten Hag will be minded not to place too much focus on the summer transfer window but the Manchester United boss is all too aware of the need for a world-class striker.
The signing of Wout Weghorst on loan from Burnley in January was necessary - proven by the fact that Anthony Martial has not been available since - but to label it as successful would be stretching.
Yes, United have won one major trophy with the Dutchman leading the line but two goals in 18 appearances is below what was expected.
As such, United have prioritised a proven goalscorer this summer as Ten Hag builds a squad fit for a Premier League title challenge.
