The word which can used to describe Manchester United forward line is 'toothless'. Often, the United forwards look clueless while moving up with the ball.

Despite Anthony Martial's somewhat heroic efforts in the last few matches, United forwards lack any venom to penetrate opponent defences most of the time.

Even the victory against Juventus was a 'smash and grab' for United due to their five-minute cameo.

While Romelu Lukaku was one of the pivotal reasons for United finishing second last season, he has failed massively in this one till now. He has only scored four goals in all competitions this season.

Alexis Sanchez was brought in January to fix their problems and strengthen United's attack. Instead, he has only added to the list of problems.

He has only scored once in his nine Premier League appearances this season and it is no surprise that there are rumours of him looking for a new club this winter.

Even a youngster like Foden had more passes than Lukaku and Sanchez combined in the Manchester Derby.

This only reveals how bad the United forwards have performed this season. It is up to Jose Mourinho and the Manchester United board to find a new way to rejuvenate the forwards before it gets too late.
