Jose Mourinho seeks cutting edge from Man United stars

Jose Mourinho says he needs more goals from Wayne Rooney and the rest of his attackers if Manchester United’s Premier League campaign is to be revived.

The positives of progress to the Europa League knockout stages and EFL Cup semi-finals have been tempered somewhat by their league frustrations. Mourinho’s men sit an eye-watering 13 points off the lead and nine behind the top four just 14 matches into the season.

A lack of goal power has been key, managing just seven goals in their last eight league matches - as many as Alexis Sanchez has scored for Arsenal on his own during that period.
