ANDY COLE has hit out at Manchester United’s recruitment policy that has left them without a striker at the top of his game.
The Red Devils are currently hunting the market to get in a top number nine after being priced out the race to land Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund and Spurs’ Harry Kane.
But treble winner Cole, now an ambassador for United, says that the club’s lack of foresight in getting a good young striker earlier has left them in this predicament.
Cole said: “I’m not going to say that if Harry Kane became available for the right money I’d turn him down, obviously not.
“But I think what Manchester United have been doing, for the past five or six years, is bringing people in who are in their mid-30s or late 30s for a couple of years, then we do it again the season after and we do it again.
