Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has urged the Red Devils to sign an Argentine World Cup winner to help the club challenge on all fronts next season.

The Red Devils signed Wout Weghorst on loan from Burnley, but the club are not expected to make the move permanent at the end of the season.

United have been linked with Napoli star Victor Osimhen and Borussia Monchengladbach striker Randal Kolo Muani in the last few months as the club look for a new number nine.

Scholes, however, feels Inter Milan and Argentina striker Lautaro Martinez would be the perfect player for Erik ten Hag's front-line.

“I like Lautaro Martinez at Inter Milan," Scholes told BT Sport, as per the Sun.

“I think he is a Ten Hag type of player, he likes a centre forward that will run about, be aggressive, get against people.

“I like United’s current options, I like Rashford, I like Martial, but Martial just can’t stay fit. So there are options out there.”

The 25-year-old striker has registered 17 goals and seven assists in 37 appearances across all competitions this season.
