In a recent comment, former Manchester United player Hargreaves gave his opinion on United's striker setup and emphasized the urgency of bringing in new players to the team. He believes that although existing players such as Hoylén and Zielkirch have their own characteristics and potential, they are not enough to be "ruthless killers" for United in the Premier League and Champions League.
Hargreaves made special mention of world-class goalscorers like Harland, arguing that United need to look for players like this who can consistently create a threat up front and score a lot of goals. He bluntly stated that although Zirkser has his merits, he is not the kind of super striker who can score more than 40 goals in a single season, thus making it difficult for him to become the core of the attack that United will rely on in the long run.
When talking about Manchester United's reinforcement strategy, Hargreaves emphasized relevance and effectiveness. He believes that United should only sign players who can significantly improve the team's competitiveness and help the team win important tournaments. He criticized some of the team's recent moves, saying that many of the players are more like "replacement" players signed to fill in the gaps in the squad, rather than key players who can change the fate of the team.
Meanwhile, Hargreaves also recognized the achievements of United's youth camp. He mentioned that young players like Gancho and Menu are thriving in the youth camp and showing great potential. He believes that the rise of these young players is the hope for the future of Manchester United, but in the short term they may not be able to take on the heavy responsibility of leading the team to compete for the title.
