Manchester United have been given a reason to fulfil Gary Neville's transfer wish

When it has come to the art of scoring goals so far this season, Manchester United have not been as prolific as the rest of their respective top-four rivals.

The Reds, who signed off for the World Cup pause with a dramatic 2-1 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage last Sunday afternoon, have scored just 20 goals in the Premier League so far this season, the lowest tally of any club currently camped inside the top-seven. Only Chelsea have scored fewer (17) in the top half of the table, too.

United have struggled to put the ball in the back of the net on a regular basis, certainly at a rapid rate, scoring just three goals on two occasions in the Premier League so far this term, one of which occasions came in the 6-3 defeat to Manchester City. They have failed to be overly convincing in front of goal, meaning question marks have been raised about what their priority must be in the upcoming January transfer window.
