The Red Devils signed Rasmus Hojlund in the last transfer window and while he scored five goals in the UEFA Champions League, he is yet to score in 14 Premier League matches.

United are now reportedly desperate to add some firepower to the squad when the January transfer window after their poor start to the campaign.
The Sun have reported that manager Erik ten hag has sent scouts to watch Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri in recent weeks, including Saturday's game against Atletico Madrid.
The Moroccan forward has registered five goals and one assist in 17 LaLiga appearances, while he also has two goals in the Champions League.
The Red Devils have also been linked with a move for Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy, who has scored 17 goals in the Bundesliga, but the striker would reportedly prefer a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
It remains to be seen if United will dip into the transfer market next month, especially with a number of players coming back from injury.
"The current squad, I am happy. As we get our players back, we have a good squad," Ten Hag said on Friday.
"A lot of the way it went in the first season, the reasons behind that, were because many players were not available. I am sure when all players are on board it looks different, Casemiro, [Lisandro] Martinez, Mount, we will be much stronger after the window."
