Marcus Rashford has been a mainstay at Manchester United for the last seven years and is set to remain so for the next five at least.
Double £65m striker signing can provide Manchester United transfer fix
04.07.2023 - 08:07 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United and a new striker. It's the soap opera storyline that has kept on giving.
Not since the days of Wayne Rooney have United had a consistent leading man up front. In the decade since there have been expensive failures, ageing stop gaps and very little in between. And, with the 2023-24 season a little over a month away, United remain light in attack but heavy on unanswered questions.
The Reds need to find a striker solution if they have any hope of closing the gap domestically and eating into it on the continent.
If the season started tomorrow, Erik ten Hag would be choosing between Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford through the middle. The latter is better utilised off the flank - and showed it in spades last term - while Martial's injury record means he is a mix of unreliable and unfortunate. Indeed he could be sold this summer should an offer materialse.

ALSO READ: United could get exactly what they need in transfer window with shrewd £17million signing
When you cast an eye across the goalscoring options available elsewhere in the top six, it's a clear weakness for United. And, with a £60million deal for Mason Mount all but done, the chances of the Reds moving for a striker of the calibre of Harry Kane at Tottenham or Victor Osimhen at Napoli seem to be receding quickly. United simply don't have the money to be spending £100million-plus.
It means Ten Hag is shopping in the next bracket, forgoing elite-level experience and goals for the more affordable. Someone still capable of hitting the net regularly but without the guarantee world-class options offer.
