Jadon Sancho spent the second half of the season on loan with Borussia Dortmund and could return on a permanent deal.
False nines and diminutive, pacy forwards were deployed by the most successful teams and the stereotypical centre-forward was seen increasingly sparingly at elite level.
But traditional strikers coming back into fashion has helped those who fit that description of all ages. There have been a few stereotypical centre-forwards - tall, powerful and broad-shouldered - seen at Euro 2024 already and some are in the autumn of their careers. He finished his first Bundesliga season with Dortmund as the club's second-highest league scorer with 12 goals and he's the sort of profile Manchester United should be targeting.
Hojlund has almost single-handedly shouldered the burden of scoring United's goals and that pressure has come too soon. United need a striker who can ease the load on Hojlund and can contribute from the bench and feature in the different cup competitions. Fullkrug only signed for Dortmund last summer, signing from Werder Bremen for a reported fee of €13million, and that was value for money considering he scored three goals on their way to the Champions League final.
