Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits their market campaign fell short.
Solskjaer has been left desperately light in attack after sanctioning the departures of Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez this summer.
He is prepared to wait until the end of the season to secure long-term target Jadon Sancho, of Borussia Dortmund, but confirmed his intention to bolster his forward line with an old-fashioned poacher.
Solskjaer said, At the moment we are creating, but of course you are always looking for someone to improve us and we did and we were looking. And as I said on the way back from tour, we were still looking for one replacement for Romelu if he went.
We are one down to be fair, but we didn't just find the right one. We didn't find the answer that we wanted."
Sancho has long-been the leading attacking target, but the Borussia Dortmund winger is not the prolific goal-scorer Solskjaer is determined to add to his side.
I do like the one who scores scrappy goals in and around the box, a young Ole or something," he said. It doesn't have to be a 1m95 centre-forward. It could be sometimes if we want to play with two up, maybe a different type to what we have."
