Former Manchester United striker Andy Cole believes the club needs to add another striker to the squad.
United spent big to land Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta in the summer, but the Dane has struggled to match his European scoring exploits with his domestic performance.
That problem has been compounded by a lack of contribution from Antony, Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.
United are one of several clubs to be linked to Brentford striker Ivan Toney in the winter transfer window, and Cole told Betfred that they need to find a senior striker.
He said: “Manchester United should never be in a position where they’re depending on a 20-year-old centre-forward. Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City have established forwards in their respective squads and they have young strikers who can come in and learn from them.
“Højlund’s come to Manchester United and doesn’t have anybody to learn from. What does he know about the Premier League? He hasn’t scored in his first nine league games and if you haven’t scored during that period, then you’re going to be asking yourself questions, for sure.
“I don’t believe he should be in that position because he’s learning the game.”
