Jim Ratcliffe’s potential Man Utd investment assessed | Football Digest<\/h3>\n

Marcus Rashford entered the new season on the back of his career-best 30-goal 2022\/23 campaign, Manchester United recruited a \u00a372million striker, and their \u00a385m addition had a year to settle in. One of the last things you would’ve expected Erik ten Hag’s side to struggle for was goals.<\/p>\n

But it’s a significant issue that has contributed to United’s disappointing start to Ten Hag’s second season at the helm.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils have scored just 11 goals in their opening nine Premier League games, finding more joy in the Champions League and Carabao Cup.<\/p>\n

But Casemiro is the club’s top goalscorer with four strikes, and Scott McTominay is level with Rasmus Hojlund behind the Brazil captain on three.<\/p>\n

Hojlund has shown glimpses of true quality since his Old Trafford arrival and isn’t near the finished article, aged 20.<\/p>\n

However, he has yet to score in six Premier League appearances, albeit with a measly xG worth 1.3, suggesting his chances haven’t exactly been gilt-edged.<\/p>\n

And Ten Hag could be tempted to move for attacking reinforcements in the January transfer window for a second successive year.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Ten Hag had to react to Cristiano Ronaldo’s explosive departure, but the Glazer family didn’t hand him substantial funds to find a suitable replacement.<\/p>\n

It left the Dutchman signing Wout Weghorst on loan from Burnley, which went as well as many predicted when news of the outlandish move broke.<\/p>\n

Hojlund was the chosen one in the summer and is hoped to spearhead Ten Hag’s attack for years to come. But he needs help, and a bargain solution has surfaced in Germany.<\/p>\n

Serhou Guirassy has made headlines this season, scoring 15 goals in nine games for VfB after joining permanently from Rennes in an \u00a38m deal.<\/p>\n
