Defeated by Real Madrid (0-2) in a friendly match in the United States, Manchester United is still looking for its future striker. Asked about this, Erik ten Hag also acknowledged that this file was a priority. “Absolutely. Two things: the pressing can be better from the start and score goals. I think we need more players who can go one-on-one. We had the necessary situations. There was (Marcus) Rashford, Scott McTominay and (Alejandro) Garnacho. You have to score. We created very good chances, but we have to be more lucid and score in these situations. We had a few – three or four good chances – but we stayed in the game until the last minute and conceded the second goal.”.
Relaunched on this objective of recruiting a 9, the Dutch technician also admitted the difficulties encountered for this file. “It’s always hard to see. It’s like looking into a crystal ball, but we’re working 24/7. We’ll do everything in our power to make it happen.”. Regarding Rasmus Hojlund, announced for several days in the sights of the Red Devils, Ten Hag however refused to say more: “we never talk about players under contract with another club. We have our goals. We are working 24/7, we are busy finding the right player to sign a contract with us”. To be continued…
