Manchester United remain in desperate need of a proven striker as their goalscoring struggles continue to define another underwhelming season.
Rasmus Hojlund has endured a tough campaign, often left isolated and learning on the job as the club’s main attacking outlet.
With goals proving hard to come by, United are expected to prioritise a new striker in the summer.

Names like Victor Osimhen and Viktor Gyokeres have been dominating the conversation.
Benjamin Sesko is another target.
The 21-year-old Leipzig star fits the profile United are seeking as part of their long-term rebuild.
However, any hopes of landing the Slovenian striker at a bargain price have now been dashed.
RB Leipzig command fee near £100m mark for Benjamin Sesko
According to a report from Bild, Leipzig are set to demand a fee of around €100m (£86m) for Sesko this summer.
That is despite talks of there being a gentleman’s agreement in place for a lower figure.
United are not alone in the race.
Premier League rivals Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham are all monitoring Sesko’s development.
While AC Milan are also credited with strong interest.
Sesko has caught the eye this season after making the step up from Red Bull Salzburg in 2023.
He has racked up 37 goals in 82 appearances for Leipzig so far.

Having also made his mark in both the Bundesliga and Champions League.
The striker, who turns 22 next month, also has 41 senior international caps for Slovenia, scoring 16 goals.
Including appearances at last summer’s European Championship against England.
If United are serious about fixing their forward line, Sesko’s name will remain firmly on their shortlist.
However, the price of securing his signature will be anything but cheap.
