Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Says Manchester United Will Target a Striker in January

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said the club will be on the lookout for a new centre-forward in the January transfer window.

The Red Devils are light on options in attack, having sold Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan and let Alexis Sanchez move to the same club on loan. In recent weeks, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial have suffered with injuries, too, meaning United may potentially line up against Arsenal on Monday without a recognised senior striker.

Speaking about the shortage of options in this area, Solskjaer said the club will look to do business in the midseason window, per James Dutton of the MailOnline:

"When we let Alexis and Romelu go, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to see that it's forwards that next time we're going to recruit.
