Premier League action resumes this weekend. The Athletic reporter Andy Mitten notes that with Šeško's recovery status still uncertain, Manchester United simply cannot afford the luxury of five or six games for trial and error. They really need to continue signing players. Historically, strong Manchester United teams have always had two to four centre-forwards in their squad.

The Athletic reporter Andy Mitten discusses Šeško's injury and explains why Manchester United still needs to sign a striker: "I think everyone wants to know the current situation with Šeško. I saw him at a training camp outside Dublin last week, but I don't know what condition he'll be in when the new season starts.

The team's first match is against Hull City — a team with well-drilled tactics, a compact defensive shape, and an aggressive style of play.

It's easy to say there are other attacking players in the squad. Last week in Sweden, when Mbeumo played as a centre-forward, I happened to sit next to Jesper Blomqvist. He said that a winger cannot successfully transition to centre-forward in just one game.

I traveled with Andy Cole last week, and he knows the centre-forward position very well. He agrees with that view. Such a positional change requires five or six games to adapt.

But Manchester United simply cannot afford the luxury of five or six games for trial and error. If Šeško can play, that's naturally best, but I still hope the team signs another striker.

Can Rashford move to centre? He started as a centre-forward before moving more to the left wing. I think there are a lot of unknowns here.

Cunha played as a centre-forward for Brazil, but his goal-scoring record isn't exceptional; we've also seen Mbeumo try playing as a centre-forward.

So there really are alternatives in the forward line, and Manchester United's attack is not short of talented players. But historically, strong Manchester United teams have always had two to four centre-forwards in their squad.

However, Manchester United currently has only one true centre-forward, and that player is also injured."
