United were largely outplayed by City in the FA Cup final. It was a game the Blues might have only won by one goal, but it was an encounter they were firmly in control of.
United now face a key summer in the transfer market. Though there is uncertainty over the club’s ownership and how big a transfer kitty Erik Ten Hag will have at his disposal, it is clear where United must strengthen in their ranks if they are to mount a credible title challenge next season.
Bringing in a new top quality centre-forward is key. United cannot solely rely on Marcus Rashford to provide the bulk of the goals despite the best campaign of his career.
Adding a top class option up front has been evident since Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure in November.
The signing of Wout Weghorst on loan in January was only a stop-gap and his return of just two goals has not been good enough, despite his work rate and endeavour.
United have several options on their summer shopping list and Tottenham Hotspur and England captain Harry Kane is at the top. Ten Hag has been described as ‘obsessed’ about the prospect of signing him.
