Manchester United stars Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes have shown Erik ten Hag that they are capable of adding goals from midfield, after he called on his squad to help shoulder the responsibility of scoring before the World Cup break.
United's tally of 20 goals in 14 Premier League matches this season means that Chelsea (17) are the only team in the top half of the table to have found the net on fewer occasions than Ten Hag's side. Marcus Rashford currently leads the way for the Reds in the league with four goals, with new signing Antony one behind the England international with three.
Although the need for a striker is very apparent, the forward players have been left to their own devices this season when it comes to scoring. United's midfielders only have a handful of Premier League goals between them, with Fernandes (two), Fred (one), Casemiro (one) and Christian Eriksen (one) being the only members of the squad to register a goal who do not play as a winger or striker.
