Erik ten Hag will need new additions.

With Man United confirming that Erik ten Hag will remain as manager next season, the attention turns to where the club needs to improve next season. 

Despite their FA Cup triumph, United still lost 14 league games last season and finished outside the European places.

They did endure a number of significant injuries, but the squad will still need to be added to over the summer, and according to former Reds Devil star Teddy Sheringham, one area in particular needs strengthening. 

Speaking to TG Casinos, Sheringham praised United's current frontman but urged the club to add to their attacking options. 

“I think Rasmus Hojlund has done alright,” he said. “It’s tough playing centre-forward these days because wingers don’t really get down to the by-line and feed players in the box, and he’s not getting an awful lot of supply in midfield.

"I think he’s feeding off scraps at Manchester United at the moment, but he’s fought well and looks quite strong. It’s a difficult position to play at the club as such a young lad and I think he’s done okay.

“Having said that, the club need another striker without a doubt. They’re going to be playing a lot of games next season and encountering a lot of injuries, so they’ll definitely need another striker from somewhere.”
