Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has challenged attacker duo Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford to improve their goalscoring rate this season.
The Red Devils started on a bright note with a 4-0 win over Chelsea but gradually declined in form as they picked up just 2 points from the last three games.
“You have 38 [league] games, so if you can have 19 goals [each] as a partnership, with those two, so around 40 goals, that’s OK, but it’s not top, top class,” said the manager.
“At the moment, Dan [James] has got three, Marcus and Anthony have got two each, and that’s in our four games, and Anthony only played three of them, so he’s improving.”
“[To become better] it’s anticipation, knowing which position you’re in, because the quality is there, definitely, and we’re learning where to run when to run, how to run, and the last finish, they’ve go to do, of course.”
“They’re practising all the time and hopefully we can see Dan and Marcus getting goals this week, and Anthony can come next week.”
Manchester United are currently gearing up to face Leicester City and returning to winning ways.
