Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is considering using Jadon Sancho and Bruno Fernandes as strikers to solve the team’s attacking problems, according to a new report.

Manchester United’s attacking situation has become a major concern in recent seasons. After losing Cristiano Ronaldo in November 2022, United have struggled to find an effective attacking option. They have tried many players such as Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Wout Weghorst as central strikers, but have not found the desired consistency and efficiency.

In this context, Ten Hag is considering a bold solution – using Jadon Sancho and Bruno Fernandes as strikers. These are two important players for Manchester United, but they are often used as attacking midfielders.

Sancho, who joined Manchester United from Borussia Dortmund in 2021 for £73m, is considered one of the brightest young talents in world football. However, he has not shown consistent form at Old Trafford. Moving Sancho to a striker could help bring out his strengths such as speed, technique and creativity.

Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes, the Portuguese star, has become one of Manchester United’s most important players since joining in 2020. He regularly scores and assists for the team. Using Fernandes as a striker could take advantage of his strengths such as finishing ability, vision and creativity.

However, moving Sancho and Fernandes to strikers will also bring some challenges. They do not have much experience in this position and adaptation will take time. In addition, this could also affect their position and role in Manchester United’s play.

However, with Ten Hag’s creativity and versatility, using Sancho and Fernandes as strikers could become an effective temporary solution, helping Manchester United overcome the difficult period in attack and regain stability in attack.

In the coming time, we will monitor whether Ten Hag actually implements this plan and how effective it will be for Manchester United.
