Manchester United need the perfect plan for Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford this week

It might seem churlish to say of a team who have scored four goals in two games, but the biggest impediment to Manchester United reaching a Europa League semi-final and FA Cup final this week might be where the goals come from.

United scored twice against Sevilla last Thursday when it should have been more. By full-time it had to have been more. They then added two more at Nottingham Forest on Sunday, enough this time to claim a Premier League victory, but again they left some out there at the City Ground.

Of those four goals, only one has been scored by a forward, the tap-in Antony earnt against Forest with his instinctive run into the danger area after Anthony Martial had taken aim at the goal.

The others came via the left foot of right-footed midfielder Marcel Sabitzer and a surging run from stand-in left-back Diogo Dalot.
