Manchester United's obvious area of weakness has been highlighted in pre-season with Jadon Sancho forced to play as a striker.

The Englishman took his goal against Arsenal superbly, latching onto a mistake by Gabriel to fire into the roof of Aaron Ramsdale's net.

Undoubtedly, though, he would much prefer to be playing in his natural role off the flank which hasn't been possible during pre-season.

With Anthony Martial on the sidelines and Wout Weghorst back at Burnley, United's need for a number nine is evident. The club remain in talks with Atalanta for Rasmus Hojlund and are monitoring Harry Kane's situation in case Tottenham are inclined to sell.
