However, the Red Devils continue to be linked with several other forwards as the transfer window prepares to re-open.
United have held a long-term interest in Dortmund star Erling Haaland but the Norwegian looks set to remain in Germany for at least another season.
Rumours are also ramping up that Solskjaer could launch a big-money swoop for wantaway Tottenham goal-machine Harry Kane.
They are huge fans of the England international but know any potential deal would be expensive with tough negotiator Daniel Levy.
United also face competition from home and abroad for the 27-year-old, with Chelsea, Man City and Paris Saint-Germain also interested.
Now a fresh report has emerged that United could instead turn to Southampton’s former Liverpool forward Danny Ings.
And Solskjaer has done nothing to dampen fan expectations over a new arrival for his forward line.
When asked if he would rule out adding a striker, Solskjaer said: “No, of course I can’t. Yeah Edi (Cavani) signed but how many good strikers have we had at this club?

“And I can’t say we’re not signing a striker, of course not because we’re building towards a better squad.
“We’re top three two years on the bounce but we’re still nowhere near where we want to be. “Hopefully we’ll end up with a stronger squad at the start of next season and be more consistent and challenge the ones in front of us.”
When quizzed directly about Kane, he replied: “I can’t comment on other teams players and what’s been speculated and said.
“I want to show the respect Tottenham deserve and not talk about their players.”
