There really is ole scored 73 goals in the EPL not 121 in the EPL, 73 goals, Cavani, Greenwood a semi motivated Martial, a younger faster Rashford, Igalho as a seasoned veteran and you compare this current attacking 6 to that, lingard and Pogba even contributed with goals that season and I’m sure Cavani got 15 overall and hardly played?
This is the most woeful, inept attacking squad I’ve ever seen at United, it’s truly awful and will struggle to score 50-55 PL goals this season!
Sorry, I don't buy that an attack of Rashford, Fernandes, and Hojlund isn't one of the best in the Premier League, and it's them that forgot how to play football, instead of the manager. And then you have Garnacho and Amad on the right hand side, as well az Zirkzee as a facilitator false 9 to offer tactical variety. This is an attack that has been underperforming massively because of the tactical setup being detrimental, not one that's simply not good enough to score a lot of goals.
And Gyökeres is not solving any problems for us, either. He's not a 100 million striker. Just a striker who went to an arguably weaker league overall(other than the big 3 and maybe Braga, none of the teams in the Portugese league could earn promotion in the Championship, and the overall player quality is also higher in the latter), but to a much better team (Coventry -> Sporting), and has a much easier job there.
