Erik ten Hag says Manchester United must replace Cristiano Ronaldo with another striker, be that in the transfer market or promoting within.
Ronaldo’s acrimonious departure from Old Trafford was confirmed on November 22, leaving Ten Hag with a depleted attacking force with which to tackle the remainder of United’s campaign.
“Two things,” Ten Hag said. “Impulse can come out of our own club, see Garnacho, see Elanga, see Pellistri, who made a good impression at the World Cup and also in training. That is first.
“Second, yes, we are aware we lost a striker, so I think we have to get a striker in, but it has to be the right one.
“The right one is a player that brings quality to the team, not just adding to the squad because that only gives you problems. And, you know the criteria is high here at Manchester United.”
