R. van Persie: "Man Utd" must buy a new forward

Former "Manchester United" player Robin van Persie believes that the club can no longer delay and must acquire a new forward.

The "Red Devils" have reportedly lost their most productive team player - Marcus Rashford - to injury for several months. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has not yet discussed the need to acquire a new attacking player, but R. van Persie holds a different opinion.

"I believe that Solskjaer is not talking about it to avoid headlines in the press. I think they are really actively looking for someone to complement the forward position. They need at least one new player.

They cannot settle for a short-term solution, as there is always competition in such a club in any position. I am certain that they want to strengthen the forward position," added the former footballer.

The latest candidates mentioned to strengthen "Man Utd" attack are Moussa Dembele and Edinson Cavani.
