According to Ally McCoist, Manchester United should consider making a surprising move for Niclas Fullkrug, a star player from Euro 2024. McCoist is questioning the decision to sign Andre Onana and believes that Rasmus Hojlund, who had a less than impressive first year with the team, needs more support upfront.
While McCoist has faith that Hojlund will shine for Manchester United, he insists that they still need to bring in another striker. In his opinion, Fullkrug would be the perfect addition to the team. The 31-year-old has a proven track record, scoring 15 goals last season for Borussia Dortmund and making an impact in Germany's opening win against Scotland in Euro 2024.
McCoist also believes that Ten Hag's midfield needs strengthening and suggests that Joao Palhinha, who is set to join Bayern Munich from Fulham, would be a great fit for Manchester United. In his assessment of the team, McCoist states that they are lacking in the middle of the park and need more depth in that area to compete at a higher level.
In addition to the midfield, McCoist also thinks that United needs to improve their wide areas. While Marcus Rashford has not been performing at his best, Jadon Sancho and Antony have also been inconsistent. The only player who has shown a level of consistency in this position is Alejandro Garnacho. McCoist suggests that United should also look to bring in another centre forward to support Hojlund.
McCoist expresses some doubts about the goalkeeper situation as well, stating that he is not completely convinced by the replacement for David de Gea. However, he acknowledges that the team is committed to their current goalkeeper and may not be looking to make a change.
Despite their disappointing eighth-place finish last season, Manchester United has decided to give Ten Hag more time to turn things around. McCoist believes that the team needs to address several areas in order to improve, including the midfield, wide areas, and striker position. But with some luck and the right additions, he believes that United can compete at a higher level in the upcoming season.
