#2 Sign a proven goalscorer

It comes as a major travesty that a club which once paraded world class goalscorers like Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Andy Cole, Robin Van Persie to name a few, now finds itself struggling to put the ball into the back of the net with any form of regularity.

To put this in context, Manchester United players have won the Premier League Golden Boot on six occasions in the past, but their highest goalscorer in the league this season is the inconsistent Pogba, who has scored 13 goals (of which nine were penalties).

This goes in contrast with their Premier League rivals Manchester City and Liverpool, who have a number of players boasting 20+ goals every season.

Goals win games and concordantly trophies, but United find themselves painfully short of attacking quality as none of the players in the current squad possesses the ability to put the ball in the back of the opposition net with any sort of consistency and this is an anomaly that Solskjaer and the club must address moving forward.
