Manchester United have signed six strikers in the last seven years and only of them has been under 30, although it should be pointed out that he was a failure as well. When it comes to picking their goalscorers, this is a club that has been getting it wrong more often than it's been getting it right.
Odion Ighalo and Wout Weghorst will be bizarre footnotes in United history, players whose good fortune it was to be available when things got desperate. Edinson Cavani and Zlatan Ibrahimovic were ageing goalscorers who became cult heroes, but only very briefly.
Cristiano Ronaldo was the returning hero who soured his legacy and Romelu Lukaku was the young gun, the 24-year-old signed for £75million who is still infuriating United fans with his glaring misses four years after he left the club.
