[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] After Cristiano Ronaldo officially left the Premier League giants Manchester United, only Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial, who have just completed their contract renewals, are left as the main forwards in the team.

Therefore, coach Erik ten Hag admitted frankly that the team must sign a frontcourt player in the transfer market in January to replace the vacancy left by Ronaldo.

"Yes, I know we've lost a striker, so we've got to find a replacement. But the player has to fit in and help the squad, not just fill the roster." Tan Hege also emphasized that Manchester United has high standards for talent selection.

Manchester United have scored a total of 20 goals in 14 Premier League matches so far this season, making them the team with the lowest number of goals scored by the top 8 in the league.

But Tan Hege is not worried about this, and is even optimistic about Rashford, who scored 3 goals in the World Cup in Qatar, and can add offensive firepower to Manchester United after returning to the team.

"Rashford scored three goals in the World Cup and showed us what he can do, so I think he has the ability to score 20 goals in the Premier League (currently four)," Tanheg said.

Manchester United, currently ranked fifth in the league, will face Nottingham Forest, who is second to last in the league, tomorrow morning Taiwan time.

However, due to the top-ranked Tottenham winning this round, even if Manchester United wins the battle against Nottingham Forest, the ranking will not be able to improve.
