Why Manchester United let Rashford leave without signing attacking replacements and what their summer plans are now

Manchester United failed to sign a striker in the January transfer window that closed on Monday. Instead, the Red Devils signed defenders Patrick Dorgu (From Lecce) and Ayden Heaven (Arsenal) in the window.

The story of United's window was mainly about the outgoing players. The club found themselves with a major problem when one of their highest paid players, Marcus Rashford, was frozen out of the team following his now-infamous "new challenge" interview with the journalist Henry Winter in December 2024.
