Paul Merson was impressed with Tottenham’s performance at Old Trafford, but he believes that Roberto De Zerbi’s men have left themselves short in one position.…

Paul Merson expressed shock that Tottenham Hotspur did not target Nicolas Jackson before his £65m move to Aston Villa, arguing that Spurs lack a reliable goalscorer. Despite Dominic Solanke scoring a late equalizer in a 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford, Merson questioned whether the striker can consistently provide the finishing touch required for Roberto De Zerbi's side.
Merson also criticized summer signing Omar Marmoush, stating he will produce occasional spectacular goals but is not an outright goalscorer. In contrast, manager Roberto De Zerbi defended Solanke, naming him captain for the match and hailing him as the perfect center-forward for his tactical system.
