Ralf Rangnick thinks Manchester United need to sign 'two or three new strikers' in the summer transfer window.
With Edinson Cavani coming to the end of his contract and Mason Greenwood unavailable, United have no choice but to sign at least one new striker before next season. Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, is set to be the only centre-forward at the club for next season.
United will look to strengthen in defensive midfield and central defence, however, it's at centre-forward where Rangnick thinks United need the most attention, with a clear dearth of options in that position. The German, who is set to leave his position as interim manager in a few weeks' time, has claimed United need to sign 'two or three new strikers' to address that weakness.

Ronaldo has scored 23 goals this season but he's been forced to single-handedly carry the burden of scoring for United since January.
"This is a question you need to ask Erik ten Hag," Rangnick told Sky Sports when asked about Ronaldo's future.
"He's showed that he can still be a vital part of this team, but it's obvious the team needs some more strikers. There should be two or three new strikers next season, it's pretty obvious.
"If you think of Manchester City and Liverpool, they brought in [players] every transfer window. They strengthened the team, they brought in players not that popular at the time when they signed and developed into the two best teams in the world.
"I wouldn't be surprised if they play in the Champions League final in a few weeks. This shows it is possible that this can happen and it would not necessarily need three, four years in order to do that."
