Luke Shaw expressed frustration over Manchester United’s lack of scoring prowess following their eighth Premier League defeat of the season. The team suffered a 2-0 loss to West Ham United, managing only three shots on target despite holding 66% possession at London Stadium.
This defeat marked the fourth consecutive game in which Manchester United failed to score, with Rasmus Hojlund, Marcus Rashford, and Antony struggling to find the net, collectively securing only two goals in the Premier League season, both scored by Rashford.
Shaw, reflecting on the team’s challenges, acknowledged his difficulty understanding why Manchester United has been ineffective in the final third this season. He suggested that the issue might be related to a lack of creativity and clinical finishing, speculating that a lack of confidence could be contributing to the struggles.
