The club may have witnessed the exploits of Ruud Van Nistelrooy at the club. However, his exit to join Real Madrid saw Manchester United go for a replacement.
While the likes of Louis Saha, Carlos Tevez, and Dimitar Berbatov have all come along way into Manchester United’s attack and have done well, there is a need to continue in that trajectory.
This could enhance United chances of returning to global prominence as they continue to ponder on who to sign at the end of the season.
Though the aforementioned three strikers had good spell wearing the Red shirt of Manchester United, The Theatre of Dreams deserves to witness a player in the mould of the Dutch Superstar Ruud Van Nistelrooy as the Red Devils yearn for the rise to glory days intensifies.

On this note, we evaluate three special strikers that could rekindle the memories of Ruud Boy at Manchester United.
3. VICTOR OSIMHEN
The talented Nigerian would be an able candidate to produce the goods required of him at Old Trafford. He is ideal signing as he’s young and has got the mental assertion coupled with the mental disposition to flourish at the club.
He could easily be lured to the club with Manchester United taking advantage of his connection with Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo.
The scenario serves Manchester United right as well as the Nigerian parties to an extent as Odion Ighalo and Victor Osimhen are said to be from the same part of the country in their native Nigeria.
The Red Devils can make most of this relationship between the two-star strikers (Ighalo and Osimhen) to lure the latter.
This could be taught off with Manchester United, bearing in mind that Ighalo is a short term option for the club even if he makes a permanent switch to the club in the summer at most.
2. ALEKSANDAR MITROVIC
The club should make an inquiry about his services as he’s proven a top striker on many occasions more like former Manchester City’s striker Edin Dzeko.
The Serbian International was a hit in the Premier League for Newcastle United under Rafael Benitez.
The Spanish manager unleashed him and Ayoze Perez in the attack for Newcastle and the result was all positive for the club. He is still scoring at the English Championship for Fulham. At the National team, he’s been amazing for Serbia with a couple of goals for the European side alongside the creative talent of Dusan Tadic.
This is why he could be a decent signing for Manchester United as he would replicate such a moment Ruud Boy had at the club.
1. PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG
The last but not the least is the want away and the impressive Gabonese International striker. He’s been a subject of transfer speculations in recent weeks. This is due to his uncertain future at the club, (Arsenal).
The club is in contact with the French-born star about a new contract but things are not yet settled in terms of the agreement.
He’s a top-quality striker just like he’s shown alongside Robert Lewandowski at German Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund.
His international FA at Gabon has advised him to shun the less ambitious Arsenal and move to a better team that can challenge for honours in the transfer window.
This could sway the talented forward to a new destination.
United should make advances for his services knowing the class and quality he can bring to the Manchester United attacking set-up just like Dutch star Ruud Van Nistelrooy did while setting a goal-scoring standard at the club.
