Gary Neville reveals transfer that would give Erik ten Hag what he wanted at Manchester United
08.08.2023 - 12:25 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Gary Neville has urged Manchester United to sign a senior No.9 and believes the arrival of Harry Kane would instantly see the club become title challengers.
United presented Rasmus Hojlund to the Old Trafford crowd ahead of Saturday's 3-1 friendly win over RC Lens. The Denmark international has signed a five-year deal with the option of a further 12 months.
Erik ten Hag signed the youngster in a bid to address a goalscoring problem that saw his side notch just 58 goals in 38 league games last season - the fewest of the teams to finish in the top six. But while Hojlund undoubtedly has plenty of potential, he managed just nine Serie A goals himself last season.

Marcus Rashford has occasionally had to lead the line this summer, with Anthony Martial still injured. But Neville believes a more senior option is needed to support Hojlund and he wants the club to sign Kane.
"He [Rashford] doesn't like playing there [as a No.9]," Neville told The Overlap. "I spoke to him a few weeks ago and he was categoric that he plays off the left. He wants to play off the left. The real answer here is that Ten Hag wanted two centre forwards, a young one to back up Harry Kane.
"He needed two centre-forwards. he [still] needs two centre forwards because Martial could probably leave or will become unpredictable like he has been, Rashford definitely wants to play on the left. We haven't actually got a [fit] centre forward. Manchester United do not have a [fit] centre forward.
"I hope they're being clever and I hope Kane
