It seems Manchester United is facing a challenging situation, particularly in terms of their attacking options. With only Rasmus Hojlund available as a senior striker due to Anthony Martial’s injury, the pressure is on to deliver goals, especially considering United’s low scoring record this season.
The statistics reveal a concerning trend, with United having scored just 24 Premier League goals in 21 matches, making them the lowest scorers in the league above the relegation zone. Despite having talented attackers like Marcus Rashford, a high-priced striker, and promising young talents, the team has struggled to find the back of the net consistently.
The lack of goals is becoming a significant issue for Erik ten Hag’s side, with their goal difference sitting at minus five, the only top-half club with a negative figure in this regard. This raises questions about whether United should have bolstered their attacking options in the summer transfer window, particularly considering their failure to secure another striker or goalscoring winger.
While hindsight is always 20/20, there’s a growing sentiment that United’s failure to strengthen their forward line could prove costly. With the transfer window closing in just over 24 hours, it seems unlikely that there will be any incoming signings at Old Trafford, leaving the club to rely on their existing squad for the remainder of the season.
