Former Arsenal and Man City star names the surprise Premier League striker Man United should sign to solve their forward line conundrum

Manchester United should sign Crystal Palace and France striker Jean-Philippe Mateta, according to former Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna.

United have endured significant struggles in their search for a suitable No 9, having spent a combined £145.7million on Rasmus Hojlund and Benjamin Sesko across the past three seasons.

Hojlund was sent out on loan at the start of the campaign after scoring just four times last season. His replacement, Sesko, managed two goals before suffering a knee injury against Tottenham prior to the international break, an issue expected to rule him out until mid-December.
