Manchester United are having to rely on the same three players to get them out of trouble

Following his match-winning strike at Craven Cottage on Sunday evening, Lisandro Martinez now has as many Premier League goals as Rasmus Hojlund this season.

The centre-back's second goal of the campaign was enough to seal a narrow 1-0 win for Manchester United over Fulham and secure a second victory in the space of just four days.

Martinez also played a key role in the 2-1 win over Rangers just 72 hours prior to the trip to the capital, sending over a peach of a cross for Bruno Fernandes to connect with and score a dramatic 92nd-minute winner.

Though Martinez's effort had a huge slice of fortune about it, nobody of a United persuasion was going to complain. He tried his luck when others were seemingly too afraid to.

Ruben Amorim recalled Rasmus Hojlund at Fulham. He failed to register a single shot, stretching his run of games without a goal to 11.

Hojlund's deputy Joshua Zirkzee is not faring much better, currently on a run of nine appearances without scoring. He last scored when United were beaten 4-3 by Tottenham in the Carabao Cup quarter-final on December 19.

Zirkzee was joined on the scoresheet that evening by Amad and Jonny Evans. Since then, United have scored 10 goals in their last nine games, regularly finding themselves relying on the same faces to get them out of trouble.

After going three games without a goal over Christmas, United's goal drought ended when Martinez crashed in a brilliant effort at Liverpool. Just like London buses, a second goal soon arrived via Amad.

In between the goals that saw Martinez give United the lead at Anfield and the Argentine score the winner against Fulham, only Amad and Fernandes have got their names on the scoresheet. Between them, the trio have scored nine of United's last
