Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag has confirmed that he wants the club to sign a striker in the January transfer window after Cristiano Ronaldo's departure.
Ronaldo and United parted ways last month after the former criticised the manager, club and teammates in an explosive interview with Piers Morgan.
As a result, Anthony Martial remains the only recognised number nine for Ten Hag who is now eager to add another striker when the transfer window opens next month.

"Two things. 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," Teg Hag said, as per Sky Sports.
"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."
Ten Hag is also backing Marcus Rashford hit 20 goals in the Premier League after regaining his form this season.
"I don't want to pin myself on a number," Ten Hag added.
"I said it from the start, Rashford is capable of scoring 20 goals in the Premier League, I am convinced about that.
"He now has four, but he has many other goals, he scored three at the World Cup, so he has the potential to also score that number of goals in the Premier League."
