Erik ten Hag has said Manchester United will have to be “creative” if they want to sign a striker in January.
Ten Hag is keen to bring in a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo, who left Old Trafford during the break for the World Cup.

A lack of available funds meant United missed out on Cody Gakpo, who has joined Liverpool from PSV Eindhoven, and the club are looking at short-term options instead, including signing a forward on loan until the end of the season.
“It’s always difficult, strikers are expensive, especially in the winter,” Ten Hag said. But you have to set the limits high.
“We’re looking for it, we need to be creative and do everything we have in our power to get the right players in, who are fitting in the balance.”
