United are enjoying an impressive run under new manager Ten Hag, winning six of their last eight games in all competitions to climb to fifth in the Premier League.
Ten Hag signed the likes of Antony, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez last summer and will look to strengthen his squad once more when the transfer window reopens in January.
Owen has revealed the area Ten Hag needs to bolster his Manchester United squad, insisting he ‘wonders’ where the goals will be coming from as Ronaldo comes to the end of his career and Rashford and Martial blow hot and cold in front of goal.
