Erik ten Hag says Manchester United will not be dipping into the transfer market for a striker in January, despite Anthony Martial’s long-term injury.
Martial underwent successful surgery on a groin complaint earlier this week and is expected to be out for around 10 weeks.
Rasmus Hojlund is United’s primary option in the centre-forward position and scored in our last outing, the 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford.
The Dane is now our leading marksman in all competitions, with seven goals since signing from Atalanta in the summer.
Although he conceded Martial’s absence leaves a ‘gap in our squad’, Ten Hag also highlighted Marcus Rashford’s capabilities in the position, and suggested that we have other alternatives to turn to.
