Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists the club are “gonna add to” their striking options, despite their “very exciting front three”.
United travel to Anfield to take on runaway Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday, who have their own very dangerous striking trio.
And Solskjaer admits United’s three of Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood are a way off Liverpool’s lauded strikers, and insists the club will look to strengthen in that area.
“The front three they’ve got have been playing together for ages, seasons now, and you can see the rotation movements, understanding and we hope our front three will get that understanding.” Solskjaer said at his press conference.
“I think I’ve only started them together once in Premier League, so we’ve got a way to go to get the understanding but they scored four goals in that game.
“So I believe in ours, gonna add to them, definitely, but in years coming we’ll see lots of them. Liverpool have scored more goals than us outside the front three so not gonna say ours are better or theirs are better.
“We can see them three, got them on long contracts, and can see them three developing into a very exciting front three.
“I was here with Ronaldo, Tevez, Rooney that’s what we want as supporters and manager, express yourselves, put the fear to their defenders, but we’ve got Daniel James here as well so I am very excited for it.”
