Manchester United, under the hashtag #MUFC, has decided not to pursue the signing of a striker in the January transfer window, including ruling themselves out of the race for Karim Benzema. Manager Erik ten Hag cited Financial Fair Play regulations, specifically the 'no space on FFP', as the limiting factor, stating that the club does not have the financial capacity to make such a signing. Despite the injury to Anthony Martial that will see him out for weeks, Ten Hag expressed confidence in Marcus Rashford's ability to play as a striker and mentioned that the team has other alternatives to fill the gap. This decision reflects the club's adherence to profit and sustainability rules.
