REVEALED: Manchester United's four-man striker shortlist for January as Erik ten Hag tries to add more firepower to his struggling team... but cash is tight despite Sir Jim Ratcliffe's arrival

Manchester United have reportedly drawn up a four-man striker shortlist for the January transfer window - but money is very tight at Old Trafford this month.

Despite Sir Jim Ratcliffe's £1.3billion investment, United have little wriggle room when it comes to Financial Fair Play rules having spent big last summer.

Erik ten Hag would ideally bring in another striker to provide support to £72million signing Rasmus Hojlund.

Anthony Martial continues to be unreliable as back-up centre forward and Marcus Rashford is better deployed on the left side.
