Solskjaer Urges United To Find Cutting Edge Against Arsenal

By Daily Sports on September 30, 2019

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Sunday urged Manchester United to show a killer instinct against Arsenal after scoring just 10 goals in their eight matches in all competitions this season.

Since their 4-0 thrashing of Chelsea on the opening day of the Premier League campaign Solskjaer’s struggling side have failed to score more than once in any match, and they welcome Arsenal to Old Trafford on Monday in miserable form.

A lack presence up front for a team that sold Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez to Inter Milan last month was obvious in last weekend's dismal 2-0 defeat at West Ham and the midweek penalty shoot-out win over minnows Rochdale in the League Cup.

"We need to score more goals, definitely. We are working on improving the relationships, the pattern, the understanding," Solskjaer told reporters.

“We started at one end with the foundation. We have done great defensively, but of course we are not happy with the return going forward.

“We wouldn't mind a few goals from set plays and midfield. The forwards are always going to produce goals.

“Of course when we let Alexis and Romelu go, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that the next time we recruit, we will be looking for some creativity and goals.”

Making goals even harder to come by is the fact that Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial are injury doubts for Arsenal's Premier League visit to Old Trafford.

If neither forward recovers in time, that leaves 17-year-old Mason Greenwood to lead the attack for United. (SuperSport)
