Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has identified the key area the Red Devils must strengthen during the January transfer window.

On Sunday afternoon, United travelled to Anfield to take on Premier League leaders Liverpool amid a four-match losing streak.

Heading into the match, many felt Arne Slot's men would be too strong for Ruben Amorim's team with some predicting a big win for Liverpool.

However, the Red Devils produced a brilliant performance as they came away with a 2-2 draw.

It was an afternoon to forget for Liverpool as they were not at the races from the get-go and dropped two vital points in their bid to become Premier League champions.

Speaking after the match, Scholes spoke about the January transfer window and picked out the area his former club should target.

He said on Premier League Productions: "If Man Utd are going to bring in a player in January, then it has to be a striker."

Currently, United have Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee as their two options in the focal point of their attack.

However, both players have largely struggled to get the numbers required to take United back towards the top of the Premier League.

Over the last few weeks, they have been linked with the likes of Viktor Gyokeres and Victor Osimhen as Amorim looks to add much needed quality to his playing squad.

Speaking after the match, Amorim said: "I think we faced this game, second half and first half, with a different mentality. That is the difference. We can talk about the system, the technical [side], we are short, we are tall but the mentality sometimes is everything.

"And you can feel it. At the end of the game, I looked at the pitch and the guys were really tired and, sometimes, I have to explain to my players that we have to finish games like that. So I think it was a good day in that aspect. I think we could have won."

United will be back in action this weekend when they take on Arsenal in the FA Cup.
