Manchester United's number one priority for the summer transfer window is to sign a new first-choice number 9, with Tottenham's Harry Kane and Napoli's Victor Osimhen high on their list of priority targets.

United have struggled to convert chances in the Premier League this season - scoring only 49 goals in 33 matches to date - and missed a host of chances in their late defeat to Brighton on Thursday night at the AMEX Stadium.

Manager Erik ten Hag knows that striking efficiency needs to be addressed as the chief port of call ahead of next season, and has recognised that current options Wout Weghorst and Anthony Martial are not capable of being primary centre forward options beyond the end of the current campaign.
