Lack of goals Man United’s biggest problem- Ten Hag

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has highlighted a lack of goals as the major factor behind the English giants’ faltering start to the season.

There was fresh frustration for the Dutchman, now in his third campaign at Old Trafford, when United were held to a 1-1 draw at home to lowly-ranked FC Twente in their Europa League opener.

• Fritz loses on day of shocks at Japan Open

That result followed an uninspiring goalless stalemate at Crystal Palace in the Premier League last weekend.

The 54-year-old Ten Hag, asked at a pre-match press conference on Thursday what is United’s biggest issue at the moment, replied: “Not scoring goals, not scoring goals enough. That’s the problem, the key area.”
