Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has sent a transfer reques to the club's new owners for next season.
The Red Devils spent £72million on Rasmus Hojlund this season, but he has netted just seven Premier League goals so far.
Marcus Rashford has not the same heights as the previous campaign, while Anthony Martial's campaign has been hit by injuries.

However, it seems the Dutch manager wants another body in the striker's department going into the new season.
“I think it would help,” Ten Hag said, as per the Mirror.
“There is no doubt that we counted on Martial. You need two strikers in league we're in and the competitions we're in. You need more options.
"You need double positioning in every position and some positions we didn’t have the choices this season.
"The striker position, the left full-back position - that has a negative impact on the results. Last season we were even shorter [up front] and came through that season very well.
“So the plan was quite logical to go into this season with an extra striker, which we signed, in Hojlund. That should have been enough to cover everything. In this plan we constructed, we should have had enough goals. You count on goals from Rashford - last season he had 30 – and you count on goals from Martial.
“In my first season, Martial played very well and also in very important games he had a high impact on our performances. And then, bringing in a goalscorer like Rasmus Hojlund, it should have been enough goals.”
