All the talk of United's poor defense has somewhat taken the limelight away from the fact that their attackers also seem like they just don't care. Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, and Romelu Lukaku especially haven't been chasing the ball enough.

So many times in today's game, Pogba got the ball in the middle and looked up to find runners but Alexis Sanchez and Rashford just stood there, watching the Frenchman pass it back. Rashford has been poor for weeks if not months, and he just has to be dropped next game as this just can't go on for United.

At the start of Solskjaer's tenure, he wouldn't have been thinking about getting someone in at that striker position, but now, he may possibly be thinking about signing a world class striker in the summer and that just sums up the state of Manchester United currently.
