'The player Marcus Rashford could have been' - Man United fans react to Christopher Nkunku links

Manchester United need reinforcements up front.

The hope is that Erik ten Hag will help Marcus Rashford rediscover his best form and players like Jadon Sancho will finally deliver the goods at United. But there is still room to improve the squad even further.

Ronaldo cannot be expected to carry the team's goalscoring threat throughout an entire season. Sancho looked a little brighter in the second half of the season, though it seems he's more comfortable playing on the left and so United still need to address their problems on the right-hand side of the frontline. This means a new addition will likely need to be made.

United fans will also be hoping that Ralf Rangnick's connection with Leipzig will help the club close
