Man United failed to score on that day in north London and drew a blank again on Saturday as they were beaten 1-0 by Crystal Palace.
Manchester United failed to score for just the second time this season on Saturday but a lack of goals continues to be a problem for Erik ten Hag.
Poor decision-making was cited as the issue on Saturday but in reality there were several issues. The final ball was often wrong, clear-cut chances were finished poorly and there was an absence of any patterns of play that can reliably create openings.ALSO READ: Ten Hag speaks out on Rashford form "You have seen today, the performance first half very good, but you have to understand you have to score a goal," he insisted. "Because of the meaning of the first goal, players have to take responsibility.
"But it is obvious why we signed a striker. If everything goes well, [Anthony] Martial is on way back, [Rasmus] Hojlund is coming, so we have more players capable to score a goal, but also the players on the pitch, they can score goals."
