Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United’s iconic former manager, has urged the club to sign a new centre-forward this summer to complement Marcus Rashford.
The Red Devils’ current star man gave his side the lead in the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United with an influential display and was lauded by Sir Alex from the stands.
The Scotsman has labelled Rashford as a “fantastic” performer who is in great form – yet feels his greatest contributions on the pitch are better achieved away from a striker role.
As such, Ferguson believes it would benefit the team greatly if they were to acquire an extra attacker before next season begins, notably with Napoli forward Victor Osimhen being linked.
It’s thought that Napoli’s asking price for their star forward could reach up to €100 million (£88m) in a potential summer move.
Wout Weghorst recently joined United on loan from Burnley but has only scored one goal since his January arrival, suggesting he may not be moving permanently at the end of the campaign either way.
