Andy Cole believes Manchester United need to try and bring in another striker in the summer to try and compete with Liverpool and Manchester City.
He told Goal: “I think they do need another striker. If you look at teams at the top, Manchester City and Liverpool, if you look what they’ve got, they’ve got more than one striker.
“During my time at United there was more than one striker, if you want to be a team that competes at the highest level you need more than one.”
“Of course that partnership with him (Yorke) made me thrive and we were good friends which helped,” Cole added.
“But Ole made me thrive too, we want to get in the team but ultimately we want to learn off each other.
“You marry all these things in and that can only push you on as an individual and make you better and that would happen in the squad now if another striker was brought in.”
Ighalo’s loan deal expires at the end of the month and his future remains up in the air.
“It’s not my decision whether or not they should keep him,” Cole said.
“But I have been really pleased with him and he’s done well. He has scored when he has come in to the team and he’s doing what they ask of him but ultimately it’s going to be down to what other business United want to do in the summer and how it fits in with that.”
