Raphaël Verane picked yet another injury which saw him getting subbed for Victor Lindelof. The Frenchman broke down in tears following the incident.

Marcus Rashford lacked composure in front of goals. Similarly, this happened in the win against Tottenham and the draw against Newcastle United, thereby causing the team to drop points.

Erik ten Hag shared his concern on the lack of quality in front of goals particularly Rashford. According to BBC, the boss said:

“First half Rashford had two big chances, Antony one against one. You have to score goals in such moments because in top games three chances is massive. You have to score.”

The team lacked fire power upfront. The absence of Cristiano Ronaldo has had a massive impact. This follows the suspension of the Portuguese for his conduct in the Tottenham match.

In support of this sentiment, Roy Keane told Sky Sports that: “I guarantee you if Ronaldo had played most of the games then he’d be the leading goalscorer”.
