We do really need a striker.
It's costing us potentially blowing teams away. People talk about our final ball, but part of me thinks a lot of that has to do with us not having an active no.9.
When looking at strikers, Fergie was the best at knowing the type of no.9's that worked for both United and the league. There's a reason why, as good as he was, Ole was never Fergie's top no.9 despite how good he was in regard to scoring goals. You need a combination of pace, strength, balance and finishing....It's why Fergie never signed an out and out target man. To have a dynamic team, your forward needs to move. We now have a dynamic team that can create chance after chance if given the opportunity, but we need a forward to match that energy. Wout isn't that and Martial isn't that either ( way too static.I don't think Kane is that either imo. Osimhen or a similar type of striker is your guy.
Casemiro needs a more powerful and defensively secure partner who can take over his duties when he needs a break; with Eriksen dropping into rotation, Fred as a 4th option and Mctominay sold.
The right wing question has to be asked over the summer. Antony needs to step up, Sancho needs to perform and we need to see how both Pellistri and Amad look over the summer. Our team is now moving the ball really well. Yet despite this, the movement still tends to die on the right wing. That needs to change. And despite his goal, Antony needs to prove why he's here.
