Andy Cole said Manchester United still need to sign a proven Premier League goalscorer, insisting the club “should never” have got themselves into a position where they are relying on 20-year-old Rasmus Hojlund.
The Dane is the club’s top scorer this season with five goals, all of which have come in the Champions League. However, he is yet to score in nine Premier League games and questions are being raised over whether it is fair that the goals onus is being placed on a striker so young.
Marcus Rashford has scored just once in 16 matches this season while fellow attackers Anthony Martial, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho and the now-exiled Jadon Sancho have netted a combined two goals between them.
