Rasmus Hojlund has three goals in Europe since his summer arrival, but the club is said to be looking for a striker to complement the young Dane.
It is considered that Hojlund’s young shoulders bear too much of the pressure of scoring goals, and United believe he would benefit from playing with a veteran forward.
According to the Daily Mail, United already has many targets in mind for when the transfer season reopens.
One long-term objective is Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, who was the top scorers in Serie A last season.
Napoli set a high asking price for the Nigerian in the summer, but recent events indicate that they may now be more inclined to listen to bids.
If not, the Red Devils might sign Brentford midfielder Ivan Toney, who will be free of his gambling suspension.
According to recent speculations, the Bees may seek £100 million to allow the England international leave.
With United also interested in signing a world-class centre-back such as Edmond Tapsoba or Jean-Clair Todibo, they may decide to bring in a striker on a tight budget.
Mehdi Taremi of Porto is also said to be on the club’s radar.
The Iranian, 31, is out of contract at the end of the season and was linked with a summer move to Old Trafford.
