Manchester United failure sparks anger but one move can fix it for Ineos
Manchester United's business in the winter transfer window has dissatisfied most supporters with an overwhelming majority suggesting a new striker is needed.
The Reds had a quiet window with Patrick Dorgu and Ayden Heaven the only two additions to Ruben Amorim's first-team squad. Meanwhile, Diego Leon joined from Paraguayan team Cerro Porteno, however, due to post-Brexit regulations, the 17-year-old won't be in Manchester until at least his 18th birthday in April.
In terms of departures, Tyrell Malacia, Antony, and Marcus Rashford were among the notable names to depart Old Trafford. The latter two's exit has led many to question why United did not sign a forward on loan, at the very least, with the Reds now short of options in attacking areas.
