It's set to be another expensive and exciting summer transfer window for Manchester United.
Though several positions in Erik ten Hag's squad need some serious attention, a new striker is the biggest priority. United have operated most of the campaign with hardly any upfront options to speak of. Anthony Martial has been injured for most of the campaign, Cristiano Ronaldo left in December and Wout Weghorst was just a stop-gap gamble that hasn't paid off.
It's a wonder United have done as well as they have and most of it has been down to the roaring return to form of Marcus Rashford, who has already registered his best-ever tally. But only Aston Villa have scored fewer times than United out of the teams in the top 10 and it's clear additional firepower is needed.

United know this, thankfully, and have already drawn up an intriguing shortlist of potential signings for the summer. Here is how those six frontmen have fared this season.
United's top target, and for good reason is Tottenham talisman Harry Kane. The clinical striker is exactly the guaranteed source of goals the side is crying out for and a departure from the spiralling Spurs looks likely given he's approaching the final year of his contract.
Tottenham still won't give up their best player without a fight or receiving a massive transfer fee, but he would be worth every penny. Despite Spurs' struggles, Kane's incredibly-high standard has continued once again and only the arrival of Erling Haaland is denying him another Golden Boot.
The England captain has now scored at least 20 goals in each of the last nine seasons and he is two more away from taking his tally to the 30 mark for the fourth time.
