Manchester United has scored 15 goals in 10 games and this situation will improve once these players are available.
Eric claims that once Cristiano and Martial are available, they will improve immensely in the scoring department.
Martial played every pre-season match and showed what he can deliver but got a hamstring injury against Atletico Madrid.
Since then, he has missed 10 games out of 14 for the Red Devils.
No.9 an issue for Manchester United
Every season, United has a lacking area, and this time it’s the upfront position.
Only having Cristiano and Martial as proper no 9 and both of them injured or not in form is a concern for the team.
Martial only started once against Everton and got substituted by Ronaldo in the 29th minute.
Ten Hag on United’s lack of scoring goals
“I think that is a good question,”
Ten Hag replied when asked if United could be better off.
“There are obviously many problems and we had to integrate many players
“We had to deal with problems offensively from the start: Cristiano Ronaldo was unavailable, Anthony Martial was not on the pitch and didn’t play a full game until now.
“I’m sure when that is better, with two No.9s present and fit in a good, combative shape, the results from the team will improve
“I’m a person that is never satisfied. I am happy to be here but I’m not satisfied where we are but I also know that I’m impatient.
Think good is not good enough, we have to do better.
“I see many things that can go better but I also see improvement so when we keep going with this progress we’ll improve more and I will be even happier.
” think Rashy scored 5 goals out of 11, Antony wasn’t involved in the first three games but he has scored three in his first four (league) appearances. Jadon Sancho has scored three goals, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored two goals, Martial, don’t forget him: three goals.
“We have players who can be productive and as a matter of fact, it’s not a real concern.
Manchester United are currently 5th in the league and 2nd in the Europa league.
The availability of both proper no9 will surely be a boost for the team.
Until then, other players have to step up to convert those chances
