Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag admits he needs to find a new striker signing in January.

United held talks with PSV Eindhoven over Cody Gakpo in the summer and it's believed they are ready to re-open discussions.

The 6ft 4in forward, who scored three goals in Holland's run to the quarter-finals in Qatar, can play wide or as a centre-forward.

Ten Hag, who has already signed three players from Dutch clubs since taking over at United, responded to the Gakpo speculation by saying: "I cannot give comments on specific players. I will never do that.

"Players have contracts and I respect that, but make sure we are working in the background to get the right players in."

Benfica ace Goncalo Ramos is another player on Ten Hag's radar.

The 21-year-old scored a hat-trick for Portugal in their 6-1 win over Switzerland in the last 16 of the World Cup after replacing Ronaldo, and kept his place for yesterday's quarter-final against Morocco.
