Though Mason Greenwood, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial can all play through the middle, they’re arguably more effect out-wide, which leaves Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with a need to invest in that area of the field.
As reported by the Metro, Andre Silva, who has been one of Europe’s in-form strikers this campaign, is of interest to Man United. The Portugal international has been averaging just shy of a goal a game this term.
This afternoon, two minutes into his side’s clash with Union Berlin, Silva scored his 20th Bundesliga goal of the campaign, which is the same amount as Erling Haaland has to his name.

If he keeps playing like this, Ed Woodward needs to get on the phone and make this one happen.
Man United are a regular scoring striker away from being able to put up a legitimate title challenge.
Could he be the man?
