Manchester United are still waiting to complete Gary Neville's transfer wish

Trying to predict who will spearhead Manchester United's attack in their Premier League opener against Wolves on August 14 is an almost impossible challenge.
The Reds, who will get their pre-season preparations underway in less than three weeks' time, have prioritised the addition of a world-class striker in this summer's transfer window. With the exception of Marcus Rashford, who netted 30 goals, United had nobody who could they rely on to put the ball in the back of the net on a regular basis during the 2022/23 campaign.
It is why manager Erik ten Hag has made it his primary mission to bring in a new No.9 this summer. United have drawn up a list of targets and are continuing to assess each of them, though their budget will dictate who they will be capable of landing.
Tottenham Hotspur ace Harry Kane is the Dutchman's preferred target, but the Reds are working under the assumption that the Londoners will not sell their star asset this summer, despite his contract being up in 12 months' time. It means United are being forced to take their search elsewhere.

But whoever United do lure to Old Trafford, they know it is a move they have to get right and get instant results from.
The club is under intense pressure to recruit a new No.9 this summer and the chosen candidate will have to prove that they can deliver the goods from the off, as will
