United only managed to score 44 goals in the league during the 2024/25 season, which is thirteen fewer than the already unimpressive total from the 2023/24 season.
Only one of the five new players who were brought in during the summer of 2017 was a forward. who player was Joshua Zirkzee, who had a mediocre return of 13 goals in two seasons in Serie A. His return caused eyebrows to be raised rather than optimism.
It was not surprising that the goals did not flow. The club’s primary attackers, Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund, scored a total of only seven goals in the league between them.
Observers made the observation that “the blunt attack was their main issue,” which is supported by the fact that just six players scored more than twice in the league the previous season, and several of those players were either scarcely featured or moved on.
Ruben Amorim is now in charge of United, and the club is finally making progress towards resolving the issues that have plagued their attacking line for a very long time. Following his 15 goals scored in the Premier League for Wolves, Matheus Cunha has already signed with the club, giving a much-needed spark to the front line.
Also, negotiations are taking place with the club in order to acquire Bryan Mbeumo, who finished the previous season as the fourth-highest scorer in the Premier League. In the event that the transaction is successful, it would indicate a substantial shift in approach.
Furthermore, attackers such as Viktor Gyokeres and Victor Osimhen continue to be on United’s radar. These names suggest that the club has a real desire to bring greater firepower back to Old Trafford Football Club.
According to the words of a club insider, “Finally, United are addressing their biggest problem.” This answer has arrived too late for many supporters to be satisfied with, but it is commendable nonetheless.
