Man United are in the market for a new striker this summer and there is momentum building behind Joshua Zirkzee.
Rasmus Hojlund shouldered the burden of finding the back of the net for United last season and the youngster needs competition in his position to ease that responsibility.
Zirkzee is believed to have a release clause of £34million, with United, Arsenal and AC Milan all said to be interested, but former striker Yorke doesn't think that should be triggered. "Erik ten Hag needs an experienced man at striker alongside Hojlund, as he obviously struggled towards the end of last season. Niclas Fullkrug is one of those experienced strikers who has been smashing in the goals lately. But, he needs to be the right character.
Yorke continued: "Sir Jim Ratcliffe needs to focus on signing players as a structure rather than an individual who can take you to success. I think Man United have to start at Jarrad Branthwaite and try to lower the average age of the squad to around 25 years old. "But, I don't see United make those amazing signings anymore, Paul Pogba was probably the last time I said 'Wow, what a signing'. Man United used to sign Wayne Rooney, Jaap Stam, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Robin van Persie, and even me, people were excited about those names and now they're spending £85m on Antony. Man United need to sign a player like Musiala that can create that buzz.
