Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag reveals Manchester United will not sign a striker in the January transfer window.
Erik ten Hag, the Manchester United manager, has made it clear that there's "no room" at the club for new strikers in the January transfer window. This declaration comes amidst speculation linking Karim Benzema with a move to Old Trafford and Anthony Martial's injury woes.

Anthony Martial sidelined for 10 weeks following successful groin surgery
Manchester United's French striker Anthony Martial has been sidelined due to a groin injury, following surgery which is expected to keep him out of action for approximately ten weeks.
With Martial sidelined due to a groin injury, questions about bolstering the striker position have been rampant. However, Ten Hag stated, "I looked but there is no space. There is no space for FFP to do something about this lack of quantity in the striker position."
This statement sheds light on the club's approach to the ongoing transfer market, indicating a focus on fiscal responsibility and adherence to FFP rules.
FFP Challenges and the Transfer Window Deadline
The situation at Manchester United reflects a broader trend in football, where clubs are increasingly mindful of FFP regulations. Recent developments, such as the points deduction faced by Everton and the charges against Manchester City, highlight the impact of FFP on club operations.
With the January transfer window closing on February 1, it remains to be seen how Manchester United will navigate these constraints. The club, along with others, might need to consider player sales to facilitate any new signings.
