Ten Hag's on the front nine

ERIK TEN HAG makes no bones about it - landing a new striker is his No.1 priority this summer.

The admission came shortly after Manchester United travelling fans had playfully serenaded England captain Harry Kane with chants of 'We'll see you in June'.

Tottenham ace Kane acknowledged he'd heard the song in north London on Thursday as United opened up a two-goal lead before eventually being held to a 2-2 draw.

And Red Devils boss Ten Hag - who has Kane and Napoli goal-machine Victor Osimhen in his sights - later opened up on the importance of signing a top-class centre-forward in the upcoming transfer window.

"Yeah, I think everyone knows, Ten Hag said when asked if a new No.9 will be his focus.

"It's not a secret that over the whole season we had a shortage of No.9s.

"First, we had the drop out of Ronaldo, then Anthony Martial was often not available. Jadon Sancho was often not available, then you have a shortage of frontline players. With less players we have to cover many games, so definitely we need, in the frontline, players who strengthen the squad.
