What we learned from Manchester United’s win over Zorya
3) Wasteful United
Another aspect Mourinho has been unable to peel from this United team is their wastefulness in the final third. This was apparent once again on Thursday night.
With United dominating possession from the onset, there some chances created, albeit not so clear cut. Rashford and Lingard, in particular, were quite profligate in front of goal.
Not only that, United for the most part, failed to make use of the numerous set pieces won. One thing that continues to frustrate is the team’s inexplicable failure to make use of their imposing heights. Even crosses were not challenged well enough.
