Man Utd transfer news: Betinho speaks on being named United player and messages two stars | Football | Sport

United are hoping to sign a forward this month following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. They have missed out on Cody Gakpo, who is set to complete a move to Liverpool in the coming days.

A loan signing is most likely for the Red Devils. Ten Hag refused to discuss Gakpo following United’s 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Tuesday but outlined his desire to bring a striker in.

He told Amazon Prime Video: “I don’t talk about individual cases. We are looking for a striker, it would be good with so many games coming.

“We want to stay in all the leagues we are playing in and you need numbers in the squad. We are aware we lost a striker, so I think we have to get a striker in, but it has to be the right one.

“The right one is a player that brings quality to the team, not just adding to the squad because that only gives you problems. And, you know the criteria is high here at Manchester United.”
