Why Garnacho’s Scoring Struggles Sum Up misfiring Man Utd under Amorim……Read more 

 

 

Alejandro Garnacho’s bad misses at Tottenham underlined his personal scoring drought – and Ruben Amorim’s big problems in attack with Man Utd; winger is yet to score under Portuguese boss, missing 12 big chances this season

Manchester United’s 1-0 defeat at the hands of Spurs last weekend has once again highlighted their struggle in front of goal – with Alejandro Garnacho’s personal drought underlined by several bad misses.

Under the leadership of Ruben Amorim, the Red Devils have now failed to score in six of their 14 Premier League games, showcasing an alarming lack of potency in attack.

At Tottenham, Manchester Utd managed 16 shots, including two big chances. Despite this, they were unable to find the back of the net, continuing a frustrating trend for their players and their fans alike.

Since Amorim took charge of Man Utd in November, the team’s attacking statistics have been concerning. In this period, only four other Premier League teams have scored fewer goals. Even more worrisome is their performance in the first half of matches; only one team has fewer first-half goals and had a worse shot conversion rate than the Red Devils.

Amorim’s players are gradually adapting to his playing style, but their problems in attack are particularly striking. During his tenure at Sporting, Amorim heavily relied on Viktor Gyokeres, who netted an impressive 66 goals in 68 appearances under his guidance. However, since Amorim’s first game with United, only six players have managed to score a Premier League goal for the team.

Amad Diallo, who could miss the rest of the season through injury, is their top scorer under Amorim with just five goals.
