Alan Shearer named Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe as two "top-class" strikers Manchester United should pursue after the Red Devils played a goalless draw with Manchester City on Saturday, December 12.
During this season United have scored 19 goals in their 11 Premier League games. The Red Devils current top goalscorer in the league is Bruno Fernandes who has scored overall 7 goals.
Haaland and Mbappe are two of the most promising players of modern football. This season Haaland has made 14 appearances in which he has scored 17 goals for Borussia Dortmund, while Mbappe has scored 12 goals in 14 appearances for PSG.
"Cavani, they’ve got him. He’s 34 in February," Shearer told Match of the Day . "Greenwood may be that man in two or three years time because he’s got fantastic potential.
"But I think they need a top-class centre forward in this team.
"Greenwood and Rashford should be in and around that six yard box, there’s no one there, no one at all, nothing on for Bruno.
"He needs more options, he needs a forward in there who will put the ball in the back of the net.
"They’ve got to get in there more often. It was far, far too easy an afternoon for [John] Stones and for [Ruben] Dias. That’s what I think they’re lacking and it showed today."
Shearer was then quizzed on who he would bring to United in an ideal world and replied: "Haaland or Mbappe."
