Manchester United have endured a tough old start to the current season and their supporters here in the Tavern haven’t been happy with how things are going!

But after a much-needed 3-1 win over struggling Swansea City this weekend, the Red Devils can at least go into the international break with a win under their belts.

But perhaps whats been clear more than anything is that United need a little investment in January.

Some of the players Jose Mourinho brought in this summer just haven’t been effective enough and if things are going to change at Old Trafford, some quality fresh faces need to come in.

And with the African Cup of nations just around the corner, why not take a look at some of the best African strikers around and take a look whether they’d fit into this United side.

So with that in mind and armed with a conclusive list from our landlord, here’s TWO African strikers Mourinho simply has to consider signing in January…

Kelechi Iheanacho

Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho is perhaps one of the most promising young strikers in the world right now and his potential is clear for all to see.

But having to compete with Sergio Aguero on a regular basis is tough going and as his career develops, it might be tough for him to stay at the Etihad if he’s not playing regularly.

A move to Old Trafford would certainly be a surprise but we’ve seen people cross the City border before.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

As we saw in Dortmund’s 5-2 away win over Hamburg this weekend, Pierre Aubemeyang is still one of the best players in the world, despite enduring a small fallout with Borussia bosses in recent weeks.

He bagged four in a fantastic individual performance which continued to highlight why he is one of the most sought-after strikers in the world.

The Gabonese international will be a hard man to tempt to Old Trafford but he’d improve United’s squad no-end.
