#4 Javier Hernandez
With the arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, many people thought that United’s woes in the forward line would end. However, United have managed to score only 19 goals in 14 league matches.
As much as Mourinho’s defensive tactics are to be blamed for this, it is evident that his side lack a cutting edge in the offence when it comes to scoring against deep-lying teams. Marcus Rashford is an incredible talent and definitely has a bright future, but he cannot score in every crunch situation.
What United lack is a poacher like Javier Hernandez. This Mexican forward was often called the super-sub at Old Trafford for his uncanny habit of scoring in important matches after coming off the bench. As has been evident, the Red Devils have failed to capitalise on their chances and a striker like ‘Chicharito’ would be perfect for killing off games.
The 28-year-old spent five seasons at Old Trafford. He spent a brief spell at Real Madrid before joining Bayer Leverkusen and has been in terrific form of late. The Portuguese boss would have loved to have him in the squad, just to come off the bench and score important winners.
