MANCHESTER, Feb 12 ― Manchester United coach Ralf Rangnick said the club is in “obvious” need of a young striker with the attacking duo of Cristiano Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani both in the twilight years of their careers.
United have struggled to make the most of their attacking opportunities in recent weeks, crashing out of the FA Cup on penalties against Middlesbrough following a 1-1 draw in which they had 30 shots at goal. “This is obvious,” Rangnick told reporters yesterday when asked about whether the club will be looking to sign a younger forward for the coming season. “Edinson's contract is running out in the summer and the club needs the best possible centre forward.Rangnick also played down Ronaldo's reaction to United's midweek draw with Burnley, after the Portuguese international walked off at the final whistle without acknowledging the travelling fans.
“Cristiano, as we all know, is 37 and I think he knows himself what he should do or should not do and also what he has to do.
