Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has urged the Red Devils to sign two more strikers and retain the services of Rasmus Hojlund. The former midfielder named Napoli's Victor Osimhen and Sporting forward Viktor Gyokeres as the two players Ruben Amorim must target.
He also insisted that Manchester United must look to keep Hojlund, who scored just four Premier League goals in 32 appearances this season. On The Overlap Fan Debate, Scholes said (via Metro):
"‘I think Osimhen, it sounds like a doable one. When you talk about financial problems, he could be doable. But I’d keep Hojlund. I know he’s not been great, but he’s a 22-year-old kid playing on his own for Man United the last two years."
"He’s had to play every week, he is the only one. Man United should have at least three top centre forwards. I’d have him and Osimhen. Him, Osimhen and Gyokeres."
He added:
"Hojlund has struggled like mad but he’s not had the chance to sit down and watch. If a striker is not playing well a manager will tell him just come back and have a look. Get a feel for the game."
Osimhen seems like a deal that could go through with Napoli trying to move him on. The Nigeria international even spent the second half of the 2024/25 season on loan at Galatasaray.
Meanwhile, Gyokeres is contracted with Sporting till 2028, and is drawing interest from a number of clubs, including the Red Devils' Premier League rivals Arsenal.

Bruno Fernandes
Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes reportedly does not want a move to Saudi Arabia, amid rumors suggesting an exit. Sky Sports says that the Portugal international discussed a transfer to Al-Hilal but ultimately decided against it.
The Red Devils coach, Ruben Amorim, was also asked about the player's future during the trip in Asia. Speaking about this, the Portuguese tactician said when asked if Fernandes will move away (via Sky Sports):
"I think he wants to stay, he is saying 'no' to a lot of things, but it shows that he wants to win and he is really good and needs to be in the best league in the world."
In a miserable season that saw Manchester United finish 15th in the Premier League, Fernandes stood out. He scored 19 goals and bagged 19 assists in 57 matches across competitions.
