Erik Ten Hag insists Manchester United have what it takes to score despite drawing another blank in a dispiriting 2-0 defeat at West Ham.
The Red Devils have now gone four matches in a row without scoring for the first time since 1992 after another limp display.
But beleaguered boss Erik Ten Hag said: “We have players who can do it. They’ve proved in the past they can do it. But we also have to acknowledge the fact that we didn’t do it as a team. We have to take responsibility. Football is about winning games and scoring goals.
“We have issues. We have had many setbacks and injuries, etc. But the players on the pitch are good enough to win the game. Get into the box, make sure you’re there, make sure you have the willingness to arrive and willingness to score goals. They are capable of it. I know (Marcus) Rashford can score, (Rasmus) Hojlund can score, (Alejandro) Garnacho can score, Bruno (Fernandez) can score, Scott McTominay can score.
“We have scoring abilities in our squad and also from set plays. At this moment we’re not doing it. They have to stick together and believe in themselves that they can do it. To get where you have to be to score and that is to get in the box, especially in the double six-yard box, you have to arrive as a striker.”
