In yet another frustrating defeat for Manchester United, the Red Devils suffered a 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace on Sunday.

The defeat marks a troubling statistic for United, who have now failed to score in nine matches this season.

Ruben Amorim’s Efforts to Strengthen the Squad Amid Attacking Woes

Ruben Amorim, the Manchester United manager, vowed to do everything possible to bring in a striker before the transfer deadline, which looms on Monday.

However, he stopped short of guaranteeing a new arrival, leaving fans with mixed feelings about what to expect in the final hours of the transfer window.

The struggling attack was evident in the match against Crystal Palace, where United managed just two shots on target from 17 attempts.

With key figures like Marcus Rashford set to join Aston Villa on loan, and negotiations ongoing for Bayern Munich’s Mathys Tel, Amorim’s options in the forward line look increasingly limited.

Struggling with Options and a Weak Attack

Amorim expressed his frustration but remained determined to improve the squad.

“We are trying everything to improve the team without making the same mistakes of the past,” he said.

“We know the urgency of the moment, but it’s difficult to make the right moves in such a tough market.”

Despite the clear need for an attacking overhaul, Amorim continued to stress the importance of team improvement.

“We have to improve as a team to score goals,” he added, acknowledging that mistakes could be made during the transfer window’s closing stages.

Lisandro Martinez’s Injury Adds to United’s Woes

Adding to United’s problems, center-back Lisandro Martinez was stretchered off during the Crystal Palace match, leaving the pitch in tears.

Amorim expressed concern over Martinez’s injury, fearing it could be serious.

“I think it’s a bad situation,” he said, noting that they would have to wait for further medical assessment to determine how much of the season Martinez would miss.

Rashford’s Loan Move and the Future of United’s Attack

The looming loan move of Marcus Rashford to Aston Villa has raised eyebrows at Old Trafford.

Despite being frozen out of the squad recently, Rashford’s absence on the field was glaring.

Amorim, however, shrugged off suggestions that Rashford’s move could backfire, calling the situation “not humiliating.” He emphasized his focus on his current squad and improving their performances moving forward.

With the transfer deadline quickly approaching, the pressure is mounting on Amorim and Manchester United to bolster their attacking options.
