The Chilean forward swapped Arsenal for United in January 2018 but managed just five goals in 45 appearances over his 18-month spell.

There is one thing not looking for a big name but another not signing anyone at all with the squad struggling due to injuries to Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay.
