Manchester United star player and  legend, Ryan Giggs has urged the club to sign a new  striker this summer following Friday’s 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur.

The Red Devils had signed Odion Ighalo on loan from Chinese Super League club, Shanghai Shenhua in January and extended the Nigerian deal until January 2021 last month.

The 31-year-old has scored four goals in nine appearances for the Red Devils. However, Giggs believes Manchester United need more firepower upfront and should bring in a quality striker in the summer.

Be on the end of passes, be on the end of crosses, score 20, 25 goals. I still think if we’re going to catch City and Liverpool we’re still three or four players short. But definitely promising and exciting with Bruno and Pogba coming into the team.”
