Not long ago, Sky Sports announced the number of striker goals scored by each team in the Premier League this season, with Newcastle ranking first, with their forward group having scored 20 goals so far; It was followed by Liverpool, with the Red Arrows of Salah, Nunez and others also scoring 19 goals; They are followed by Brighton, Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United, with the Red Devils scoring just one goal so far.
In the past 10 league games, Manchester United's 11 goals have not been outstanding in the league, but at least they belong to the middle and lower levels, but who would have thought that among the 11 league goals, only one was scored by the strikers, and the only goal came from Rashford, the Manchester United leader who has suffered a serious decline in form this season. It can be said that if there is no Rashford, then the name of Manchester United may not appear on this goal list, so although Manchester United is ranked last, it is still on the list, and I still have to thank Rashford here, although it is a little embarrassing.
So far in the new season, although Manchester United's record is very average, the chances created on the pitch are still far greater than their number of goals, Manchester United obviously has a lot of scoring opportunities, but why has it not been able to convert opportunities into goals? The main reason is that Manchester United's attacking efficiency is too low. Here is the point of talking about Ronaldo, although Ronaldo had a very unpleasant quarrel with the team before leaving Manchester United, and with the decline of age, he can only shoot and gradually become a burden to Manchester United, but even so, Ronaldo's shooting efficiency is stronger than that of today's group of forwards when he is at Manchester United.
After Ronaldo's goal, many fans felt that his goals were simple, and they were all cake-eating goals in front of the goal, so they called him a goalkeeper. But when I went to play football, I realized that the goalkeeper was not easy to be. First of all, you have to be aware enough to make accurate runs, and then it's time to put your shooting skills to the test. Strikers like Manchester United today can't run on the pitch and shoot poorly, so if they want to be goalscorers, they probably don't have the ability.
In any case, Manchester United's lack of strikers this season is too serious, last season there was a Rashford in the attacking end, so it covered up a lot of problems in the team, but this season Rashford often plays in positions that he is not good at. Kershaw's injury has left him isolated, and as a result of a prolonged slump this season, the only answer to United's current crisis is to regain the attacking dominance of Rashford if they are to regain their attacking power.
