Michael Owen has suggested his former club to sign the next Wayne Rooney.
Both Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial have never been consistent and never managed to score 25 goals in a single season.
It’s not easy to find a player in the mould of Wayne Rooney but Owen believes Ten Hag should prioritise a striker in his project.
“Cristiano Ronaldo obviously isn’t getting any younger and is not going to be there for another four, five years,” Owen told AceOdds, as quoted by the Metro. “You never know, it might be his last season.
“So from that point of view, you do wonder where goals will come from. Marcus Rashford has always been a goalscorer but never been absolutely prolific.
“Martial has had lots of chances over time. He’s never been really prolific and scored into the twenties, let’s say.
“So I think in terms of scoring goals, that’s where Manchester United will have to address it at some point.
“But, I think when you’re Manchester United, you’re probably looking at the next Wayne Rooney, the next 18, 19, 20-year-old old.
“If you’re going to buy somebody they need to nail that position down for the next decade.”
