Transfer: Michael Owen names one signing Man Utd must make before deadline

Former Manchester United attacker, Michael Owen, has named the signing his old club need to make before the summer transfer window closes at the end of the month.

Man United have already made some signings, bringing in the likes of defender Leny Yoro and attacker Joshua Zirkzee to Old Trafford.

However, Owen wants Erik ten Hag’s side to sign another striker before the transfer deadline.

“Manchester United have just had a dearth of goal scorers in recent years so bringing in a talented player won’t go amiss there,” Owen told Casino Hawks.

“Manchester United are going to need somebody who’s going to bang in plenty of goals like they’ve had with Ruud van Nistelrooy, Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney as well as others down the years

“At the moment you can only look at what Zirkzee has done so far and watch this space with him, it isn’t just having another body of quality up there but I think it will be a positive for Manchester United.

“So another body is great but even though it’s an exciting signing we need to hold fire and see how he settles in.”
