Ten Hag: Martial cannot manage load - we need another striker
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag admits he needs to bring in attacking cover for Marcus Rashford with Anthony Martial struggling to manage the load.United are in the market for a forward in January and are exploring the possibility of the loan signing of Burnley's Wout Weghorst, who is currently on loan at Besiktas.
Asked ahead of Tuesday's Carabao Cup visit of Charlton if the team is currently too reliant on Rashford, Ten Hag said: "There is a reason [Anthony Martial has been substituted in his last seven games]. It is because he cannot manage the load. This is why we are looking for another striker.
"It is not about us not relying on him. His physical load is not, at this moment, so high that he can play every third day a game of 90 minutes. So I have to manage that together with him."
