Manchester United’s struggles in front of goal have highlighted the lack of a clinical striker this season.
Despite showing promise, Rasmus Hojlund has found it difficult to consistently find the net, leaving United without a forward capable of converting the few chances they create.
This shortage of cutting-edge finishing has become a glaring issue for Ruben Amorim’s side.
Joshua Zirkzee has struggled to settle in at Old Trafford this season.
Both strikers combined, have only five league goals this season, further emphasising United’s need for an elite striker.

According to Alex Crook for TransferSector on X, Juventus are interested in Zirkzee.
Juventus have also reportedly offered Dusan Vlahovic to Manchester United as part of a swap deal involving Joshua Zirkzee.
Zirkzee recently faced sarcastic cheers when substituted off during United’s defeat to Newcastle, underlining his struggles to adapt to English football.

A move to Italy has been suggested as a potential reset for Zirkzee, where he could rediscover his confidence and form.
However, his late cameo against Liverpool offered glimpses of his potential, suggesting he could still have a role to play.
Bringing in Vlahovic, though, would likely be seen as a major upgrade by fans and pundits alike.
The Serbian striker’s physicality and polished finishing make him well-suited to the Premier League.
Compared to Hojlund, Vlahovic boasts greater composure in front of goal, sharper instincts, and stronger hold-up play.
The Serbian netted 18 goals in all competitions last season for the Italian giants.
So far this season, Vlahovic sits on 12.
Despite Juventus struggling for form this season sitting fifth in the league table, Vlahovic has more than still played his part.
The striker has just 18 months left on his current deal, with no intentions of extending his stay in Italy.
With United desperate for a reliable goal-scorer, Vlahovic’s arrival could significantly boost their attacking options.
A potential signing that would very much give opposition cause for concern.
