From Gakpo to Betinho – Manchester United's recruitment strategy ... (The Athletic)

Having missed out on Cody Gakpo to Liverpool, Manchester United are focused on trying to find temporary or low-cost permanent strikers.

[Cristiano Ronaldo](https://theathletic.com/football/player/cristiano-ronaldo-jh1IjFA8SnHLGtwM/)’s departure, [Alvaro Morata](https://theathletic.com/football/player/alvaro-morata-RLhobUT25uwxMml5/) was discussed. [Alejandro Garnacho](https://theathletic.com/football/player/alejandro-garnacho-Jagcqdt6eTZsDPIM/) made an impact on the left when he came on, and the 18-year-old would at least benefit from extra game time if United failed to sign an attacker in January. Rashford’s goal, from [Christian Eriksen](https://theathletic.com/football/player/christian-eriksen-IdnyhU0AWBdF3utd/)’s corner, was well worked, a set-piece example of what was apparent in open play: there is a growing understanding and trust between United players. [Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang](https://theathletic.com/football/player/pierre-emerick-aubameyang-PlxW6clTOC8TqmBP/) came into conversations before his switch to [Chelsea](https://theathletic.com/football/team/chelsea/). On the first occasion, away to [Everton](https://theathletic.com/football/team/everton/) in October, the quartet lasted only 29 minutes before Martial limped off. [Wayne Hennessey](https://theathletic.com/football/player/wayne-hennessey-z9I2rLsfIprjEFX3/), Forest’s goalkeeper, pulled off good saves from shots by Antony and Rashford. [Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting](https://theathletic.com/3910215/2022/11/19/choupo-moting-bayern-cameroon/) has six months left on his Bayern Munich contract. He wanted as wide a margin as possible, considering goal difference for his team was zero entering the match. [Ivan Toney has an FA charge and potential ban](https://theathletic.com/3994078/2022/12/21/ivan-toney-betting-what-next/) looming over him for an alleged breach of betting rules. [Liverpool’s signing of Cody Gakpo](https://theathletic.com/4037435/2022/12/27/cody-gakpo-liverpool-strengths/), a player United had been considering as a genuine target. [Anthony Martial](https://theathletic.com/football/player/anthony-martial-OGGk7EEQ2Ec3MI6H/) at centre-forward for just the third time.
