MU midfielders, where’s the goal?

Manchester

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer do not want Manchester United too dependent on the attacking trio. The midfielders are required to be more productive this season.

Last season, the front line trio namely Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, and Mason Greenwood was sharp. All three have scored 62 goals in total in all competitions with Martial scoring 23, followed by Rashford with 22, and Greenwood with 17.

However, MU’s dependence on the three players was indeed troublesome, before Bruno Fernandes finally arrived. Fernandes, who only arrived in January, immediately appeared sharp, scoring 12 goals, although eight of them came from the spot.

Well, this season Rashford, Martial and Greenwood are still relied on by Solskjaer, just like Fernandes. Even so, the defeat to Crystal Palace in the first week of the Premier League is proof that the United midfielders have not helped.

Donny van de Beek, who became a new player, scored the goal, while Paul Pogba, Daniel James and Jesse Lingard, who were expected to support productivity, failed to perform well.

Therefore, Solskjaer hopes that the MU midfielders can be more productive this season so that opponents will find it difficult to predict where the goal will come from.

“The three forwards scored 60 goals and Bruno came with goals from penalties and free kicks. But, we need more goals than set pieces,” said Manchester United manager Solskjaer. FourFourTwo.

“Harry Maguire is one of the best players in the league when it comes to set pieces, so can we get more goals than that ?,” he continued.

“Can we get more goals than midfielders? That can give us extra points. We have midfielders like Donny and Paul, who can certainly help with more goals, Jesse and Dan can also help with his goals.”

Last season Van de Beek scored 10 goals in 37 matches, while Pogba only scored one goal in 22 matches because he was plagued by injuries. Can both of them carry Manchester United beat Brighton & Holve Albion at 18.30 CEST? Please watch the song on Mola TV on this link, by subscribing to the Sports & Entertainment package.
