Manchester United might have felt well stacked in the attacking department following the 2-1 over Liverpool last month.
Anthony Martial had just returned from injury to provide the assist for Marcus Rashford’s winner, the Englishman's first of four in three matches. All this while five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo watched on from the bench.
But injuries to both Martial and Rashford have sidelined them in recent weeks while Erik ten Hag was given a scare when Ronaldo went down bloody-nosed and disorientated following a clash during Portugal’s 4-0 win over the Czech Republic on Saturday.
