"From what we've seen so far, United do look better going forward. But they aren't clinical enough, look at the attempts they had last week,” Ince said told Paddy Power in light of United’s 2-1 home loss to Crystal Palace.
“They need a goalscorer, a Harry Kane or a Sergio Aguero. Someone that scores goals for fun, makes it look easy.

“Yes, they've got Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford who will create something, but will they score you 25 or 30 goals a season? No.
"Zlatan Ibrahimovic hinted this week that he might go back, and that's not a bad idea. I've watched him in the MLS a few times and his record is phenomenal.
"He doesn't run around much, he kind of stands about, but when that ball comes to him in the box – or outside of it – he will score goals.”
Ibrahimovic scored 17 goals and laid on five assists in the Premier League for United before leaving in March 2018.

Paul Ince reckons Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should bring Zlatan Ibrahimovic back to Man Utd (Image: Getty)
He battled back from knee ligament damage during his second season with United and has since scored 44 MLS goals in 49 appearances.
"Rashford, [Daniel] James, etcetera are all young lads who need guidance,” Ince added.
“They need someone like Zlatan, not just from the goals point of view but from the changing room point of view, someone to learn from.
"He ticks all the boxes. It's a no-brainer to me if Ole and him both want to do it. Though he'd probably bring the average age up a lot in the team!"
