It was far from Manchester United's biggest problem on Sunday, but it was there lurking under the surface once again. Erik ten Hag diagnosed an issue in front of goal as being the major issue for his team last Thursday and if he's clutching at straws, at least nobody was talking about that after the 3-0 defeat to Tottenham.

There were more pressing problems after that shocking collapse but it was another day when United drew a blank in front of goal.

Their chances of scoring were damaged by the sending off of Bruno Fernandes but Joshua Zirkzee had already missed a good chance to level the scores.

Those freewheeling 180 minutes against Southampton and Barnsley already feel like a long time ago. United filled their boots against the worst team in the Premier League and a third-tier outfit.
