Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed the type of striker being chased by Manchester United between now and the end of this winter transfer window.

The Manchester United manager talked about the need for a striker during his press conference shortly after his team crashed out of the Carabao Cup semifinals despite winning the second leg at the home of rivals Manchester City.

Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic scored the only goal of the game as the Red Devils beat Manchester City 1-0 but it was not enough as they crashed out at the last four stage after the 3-2 aggregate loss to their neighbors.

The damage had been done in the first leg three weeks ago when the Red Devils lost 3-1 at Old Trafford.

On the striker search, Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said the club is looking for a goalscorer with an intense appetite for scoring goals.

He wants a striker that can break his nose to score goals.

Manchester United have already been depleted with the long-term injury to Marcus Rashford who’s their leading goalscorer with 19 goals overall the competitions.

Strikers linked with Manchester United this month include AS Monaco star Islam Slimani, AC Milan striker Krzysztof Piatek and many more.
