Former Manchester United coach Rene Meulensteen believes the club should prioritise signing a new striker in the summer transfer window.
United are keen to bolster their attacking options at the end of the season with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitting a new striker will be considered.
MEN Sport understand Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho remains the priority target ahead of the summer window, but Meulensteen believes money could be better spent elsewhere on the pitch.
The former United first-team coach says United already have options out wide and would prefer to see a new forward in the same mould as Lewandowski brought in.
“They brought Ighalo in as a player who could help United in certain times and he’s actually done very, very well," Meulensteen told talkSPORT.
“But if you look at the other players there – Rashford, Martial, they’re not really out-and-out strikers.
“Greenwood, a young player coming up, it’s the same thing there.
“A lot of chances and goals can be created from the wide areas, Sancho is actually the same player.
“What I think Man United are missing is a striker of the calibre of Robert Lewandowski.
“Somebody up there who can hold the line, link play, but when it comes to finishing chances in and outside the box, that sort of player, they are hard to come by.
“Fifty million for Sancho, is that too much? For me, looking at what United have in those wide areas, is that where you want to strengthen?”
