The Red Devils are coming to the end of the summer transfer window with plenty of work to do after a rather steady couple of months since the end of last term. Martial may not be the striker that Manchester United need this season, according to Louis Saha Saha believes that Erik ten Hag needs to sign a 'killer' of a striker like Ruud Van Nistelrooy While the club have added Tyrell Malacia and Lisandro Martinez in defence and Christian Eriksen in midfield, it's in attack where the team look a little bit light. Ajax star Antony continues to be heavily linked as an option on the right flank, but signing a number nine is a different matter altogether. Cristiano Ronaldo continues to face uncertainty over his future, while Anthony Martial is yet to prove himself as a player who is capable of leading the line on a regular basis, something that Saha believes will be crucial if Erik ten Hag's side are to compete this term. Speaking on talkSPORT Breakfast, Saha said: "Anthony is a great, great player but I don't think that he represents the guarantee of 25 goals. "There are some games where the player that we know needs a bit more aggression in himself because he has all of the quality which you can see. "He came on against Liverpool without the minutes under his belt but reacted well and managed to get a great pass to Rashford. If Ronaldo leaves, Manchester United need to sign a proper striker this summer While Martial can offer a lot, United can't rely on his to get 25 goals this term "He's got the quality, there's no doubt about it, but it's about consistency and maybe that's why they're looking for another striking option. "If Cristiano is leaving because there's is the need for a killer up front, someone who is going to have that anger – a Van Nistelrooy type, where they're happy to score the tap-ins and scrappy goals and do the things that will make the team believe when they really need it if they get one chance in a game. "That's where Martial would have to change at the top and be more selfish in a way." Unsubscribe to no longer receive posts from talkSPORT. Change your email settings at manage subscriptions.
