Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that the club will be looking to sign a striker this summer. The Red Devils shipped off Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez to Inter Milan in August – a move that has aggravated problems related to their squad depth.
“Of course, when we let Alexis (Sanchez) and (Romelu) Lukaku go, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know it’s a forward we’re going to try to recruit next time,” Solskjaer said.
“It was time for Romelu Lukaku to go, though – he knows that, he didn’t want to be here, and what’s the point in having players who don’t want to be here?”
“We’re looking for some creativity and goals, but they (potential signings) have to be the right one.”
“There were strikers available but not the ones we wanted. We couldn’t get the one we wanted (in the summer).”
“There’s no point getting players in that you are not 100% sure about either.”
“When you get players in, you need the right ones that are going to stay here for a long period of time and that’s the long-term thinking we have to show.”
Manchester United are currently gearing up to face Arsenal today.
