Manchester United have no scope to sign a striker in the January transfer window due to financial fair play (FFP) restrictions, manager Erik ten Hag said on Friday.
United, who visit Newport County in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday, lost forward Anthony Martial until April due to injury, leaving them with limited options in attack.
Forward Rasmus Hojlund, who was signed for 72 million pounds($91.47 million) in the close season, has only scored two goals in the Premier League so far, while Marcus Rashford has four. "I looked but there is no space.
There is no space for FFP to do something about this lack of quantity in the striker position," Ten Hag told reporters. "Of course, Rashford can play as a striker.
