“Manchester United” in the second half of the season will have to solve the problem of lack of forwards.

Anthony Martial will be out of the game for about two months due to injury, which means that the only nominal forward left in the team is Rasmus Hojlund.

“The Red Devils” will already be facing “West Ham United” on Sunday, and at a press conference on Friday, “United” strategist Erik ten Hag emphasized that in January he wanted to add a forward.

“It is definitely not a secret that in January I wanted to acquire a forward. Martial's injury means that Hojlund no longer has a backup.

Unfortunately, we couldn't do it due to financial fair play rules. We have Omari Forson, Amad Diallo, and of course, Marcus Rashford, who can play in the forward position.

In other positions, the situation is good, but we have problems with forwards,” E. ten Hagas said.
