According to reports, while Manchester United still has a chance to win a trophy this season in the Europa League final against Tottenham next week, the 2024-25 season has been disastrous for the team, setting new records for poor performance.

Ruben Amorim’s team is currently 16th in the Premier League table, and their defeat against West Ham marked their ninth home loss this season—equaling the club’s worst-ever record from the 1930-31 season when they were relegated.

In this Premier League season, only Everton and the three relegated teams have scored fewer goals than United, making the signing of a new striker a top priority. Given United’s struggles, Giggs believes recruiting players from within the league makes sense and thinks the presence of Delap and Kenia could quickly change the atmosphere in the dressing room.

Giggs told Webby & O’Neill: “This would definitely be an improvement. Both have Premier League experience, which is a big advantage. The team’s performance has been unacceptable, and these two players have already proven they can score at this level.

When you’re in the dressing room during pre-season and better players join, it not only excites the fans but also motivates the players. So, seeing such players come in gets you excited because it means the team is improving, and these are good players.

We need 9 or 10 players, but we can’t sign them all in one transfer window. That’s the problem. Will Ruben Amorim have enough time to bring in his targets? Maybe it will take two transfer windows. We need a striker. It’s ridiculous that Manchester United only has one recognized striker when we used to have three or four.

Not just three or four strikers, but three or four quality strikers. So if one is injured or out of form, there’s another to step in. And if both are fit, they push each other, which is a win-win for the team. But this takes time. Modern football isn’t easy, and success doesn’t come quickly.”
