Manchester United manager Mauricio Pochettino will reportedly have to work exclusively with his current squad for the next six weeks before being able to consider bringing in new players to strengthen his team.
This means Pochettino must find a way to get the best out of his available players while waiting for the opportunity to address the squad’s weaknesses in the January transfer window.
One position that clearly needs attention is the striker department.
With fitness concerns surrounding Benjamin Šeško, United cannot afford to ignore the need for another reliable centre-forward. Depending on the financial terms and overall conditions of the deal, Arsenal-linked striker Folarin Balogun could represent an interesting option.
Balogun has the profile to offer something different in attack, but United must carefully evaluate whether he is the right player to lead their frontline.
The January window could be crucial for Pochettino’s project. United need more firepower, better squad depth and reliable options if they genuinely want to compete.
Would you welcome Folarin Balogun at Old Trafford in January? 👀🔥
