Despite all the positive that Ole Gunnar Solskjaers Manchester United have seen this season, there is one criticism the club is unable to shed at the moment. Uniteds performance against Chelsea this past week was a testament to the clubs flailing form against the top six clubs of the Premier League.In seven Premier League games against the constituent members of the prestigious top-six group, .Since Romelu Lukaku left the club in August 2019, United have not signed a specialist striker in a long-term deal, with only Odion Ighalo joining on loan for a year, and Edinson Cavani coming on for free in a one-year deal. While Cavani has impre sed with his form and the club is pondering on whether to extend his contract for another year or sign Aaron Sanchez Jersey a young striker, former .Speaking to the , Ferdinand said: But I see progre s. I still see room for improvement, we definitely need to buy a centre-back, a commanding centre back with pace, please.I think Edinson Cavani, yes, hes a good stopgap but we need a centre forward. If people like Erling Haaland or Kylian Mbappe are available, you cant allow them to go somewhere else and you need to move heaven and earth to get them here, he added.Manchester United are used to having superstars and those boys would change the narrative at this football club, thats how good they are, he further said.Theres room for improvement and opportunity to improve this squad, theres players out there available, it seems.

Haaland is signed to Boru sia Dortmund until June 2024, with a release clause reportedly higher than 75 million, .
