Schneiderlin: Goals will come for United

It was another predictable performance from Manchester United as they clearly lacked the cutting edge in front of goal.

Manchester United’s Morgan Schneiderlin celebrates scoring the first goal against Everton in the English Premier League match at Goodison Park, October 17, 2015.

Juan Mata and Anthony Martial’s are United’s top scorers in the Premier League this season with three goals each while Wayne Rooney has scored just twice.

Given that his ambition is restore United to the summit of the English game and add a Premier League winner’s medal to his own personal collection, it is understandable that van Gaal described himself as “not happy” with recent results. However, despite the dismal run, van Gaal is not concerned about the confidence in the camp going into a crucial Champions League clash with CSKA Moscow at Old Trafford.

Impressive “I have to say he is an impressive young player”. I asked him and he didn’t know why, so that is a pity. “However, that is not normal”.

“I think it is not only the friends of Ryan Giggs, it is all the ex-players that are doing that”.

Bolasie struck the crossbar as with Delaney having a headed chance he couldn’t take with Gayle, looking to prove he’s the goalscoring answer for Pardew, denied by United ‘keeper De Gea. We’ve had the chances and sometimes it’s just a matter of taking the time to make a good choice.

The move prompted questions over if Rooney should instead start wide on the left, where Martial was positioned, to allow the Frenchman to play a more central role, but Pardew believes Rooney is suffering because of United’s present inability to consistently create.

But Van Gaal insisted that attendances prove that his team are giving the fans entertainment ahead of today’s trip to Crystal Palace. “I don’t think they doubt their quality”, he said.

‘Manchester United are always entertaining, ‘ he said. Against Middlesbrough, I thought we had chances to finish, so that is of more concern.

“I remember I played against Man United for Newcastle they could score at every moment in a game”, Cabaye is quoted as saying by Daily Mail.

Manchester United looked chronically unlikely to win this game and arguably should have lost it. Instead, it was a third consecutive goalless draw, capping a somnolent October for them. “It is also dependable on the game plan and how I want to put my midfield out”.
