So, despite big names like Isak, Sesko, and Nicholas Jackson being floated, are United really on a low budget for a striker?We're looking at names like Ollie Watkins (17 goals, 14 assists in 54 apps last season at 29 years old) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (3 goals, 1 assist in 26 apps last season at 28 years old, and available on a free transfer!).Let me know what YOU think about the Man United striker situation! If the club ends up with a low budget, who should they be targeting? Could they still land a big-name striker if they sell all the players they want to move on?Away from United, I want to talk about Arsenal's incredible young talents!Remember Max Dowman?

Declan Rice even described him as "the best 15-year-old in the country."Unbelievably, Marli Salmon, also 15, featured in that same game! Arteta himself commented that these young talents are "able to play at that level at 15 years old... because of the environment and culture within the team."Arsenal fans, what do you think?
