Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has a simple message for his players - he needs goals and more goals. The red devils have been struggling to rise above the sixth position on the log, thanks to their series of draws in the Premier League.
And on Sunday, they travel to the King Power Stadium to face Leicester City in a must-win tie. But even if the visitors get the three points, the sad reality is that they will still spend one more week at the sixth position.
The Portuguese tactician now seems to knowledge the fact that there is a goal-scoring problem at the club, with most of the weight placed on Zlatan Ibrahimovic to deliver. Although he has been lethal in front of goal for the reds on his debut season, netting 14 times in 22 league appearances, he seems overworked. .jpg)
Speaking to MUTV ahead of the Hull clash, the 54-year-old boss said:
''I hope the goalkeepers make mistakes against us like they do against other teams. I see many goalkeepers make huge mistakes the week before and against us they all look absolutely fabulous.
“I hope that the relation with the post becomes better. I also hope that in front of goal we are more objective. We go really to smash the ball in the net because we also miss goals one metre from the goalline – and not once or twice.
“So I agree with and understand this question. There are teams that are very defensive and they score with their first shot; with us it’s the opposite.
“We always start the game to play and to try to score and win. We don’t lose a match in the Premier League since around 20 October.
“It’s a lot; it’s three months or so, but we should score more goals and win more matches.”
