Jaap Stam believes Erik ten Hag needs to sign a striker and another winger if Manchester United are to challenge for the Premier League next season.
The Reds have circled Harry Kane as their top summer target in a list of potential transfer options that include Napoli star Victor Osimhen, Frankfurt striker Randal Kolo Muani and Benfica forward Goncalo Ramos.
United have no plans to sign January loanee Wout Weghorst on a permanent basis while the club are open to letting Anthony Martial leave too. Aside from Weghorst, the only other attacking signing Ten Hag has made during his tenure is Antony.

Because I think you need to have more players from the sides that can produce, that can give assists to the striker, but also can score more goals themselves.”
Stam says achieving a top-four finish will ensure Ten Hag is backed by the owners, whoever that may be, ahead of a title charge.
