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.
Jonathan David is another target.
The 25-year-old would likely be seen as a good fit of their long-term rebuild, coming in on relatively low wages.
However, the Red Devils may be set to miss out on the Canadian striker.
West Ham edge closer in race to sign Jonathan David
According to Daily Mail’s report, West Ham have leaped ahead of United in the race for David.
The Lille striker has attracted interest from across Europe.
Multiple clubs said to be monitoring his situation ahead of a potential summer switch.
Chelsea have long been linked with the 25-year-old.
David’s contract at Lille expires this summer, meaning he will be available on a free transfer.
A factor making him one of the most attractive names on the market.
Since arriving at Lille in 2020, David has hit an impressive 107 goals in 227 appearances.

Despite the absence of European football at West Ham next season, the Hammers remain confident in their pursuit of the prolific forward.
Chelsea are expected to remain in the mix.
Although the ongoing recruitment reshuffle – including the exit of Kyle Macaulay to reunite with Graham Potter at West Ham, could tilt the advantage in the Hammers’ favour.
With the Hammers also eager to reduce the average age of their squad, David is viewed as a perfect fit for their long-term rebuild.
Thus, leaving Manchester United with serious competition in the months ahead.
