Alan Shearer urged Manchester United to buy a "top-class" striker such as Erling Haaland or Kylian Mbappe after the Red Devils were held to a 0-0 draw by Manchester City.
The goalless result means United have scored just once in four games against 'Big Six' opposition this season.
Shearer told Match of the Day : "[Edinson] Cavani, they’ve got him. He’s 34 in February. [Mason] Greenwood may be that man in two or three years time because he’s got fantastic potential.
"But I think they need a top-class centre forward in this team. "Greenwood and [Marcus] Rashford should be in and around that six yard box, there’s no one there, no one at all, nothing on for Bruno.
"He needs more options, he needs a forward in there who will put the ball in the back of the net."
Asked who his dream forward signing would be if he were United, Shearer responded: "Haaland or Mbappe."
