In the short term, Erik ten Hag may have helped form a potent attacking selection for Manchester United, but the striker problem is far from being solved.

The fact that Marcus Rashford has scored three goals in his last four games is certainly cause for optimism; however, there is no assurance that he will maintain this impressive run of form. On his best days, Anthony Martial is one of the best players in the world. However, given his terrible history of injuries, many people wonder whether he will ever reach that level again.

Due to the fact that both of the team's attackers are currently sidelined with injuries, Cristiano Ronaldo has been able to take the role of leading the line in the last two matches. Even though he scored his first goal against Sheriff Tiraspol in the most recent match, it appears that his age is catching up with him, despite the fact that he scored 24 goals in the previous season.

In addition, the superstar has not withdrawn the request for a transfer that he made during the summer, and he may make another attempt to leave the club during the month of January. On Saturday, while he was representing Portugal in an international match against the Czech Republic, he was involved in a match that resulted in a serious injury to his face.

He was able to play out the rest of the game without any problems, and he even managed to provide an assist and concede a penalty, but the incident served as a warning that United are not yet completely secure at the top end of the pitch. He was able to play out the rest of the game without any problems.
