Remarkably, United have only scored one first half goal since - a penalty from Bruno Fernandes in their 3-1 defeat at home to Brighton & Hove Albion last month. It means the Reds have now failed to score a first half goal from open play in each of their last 15 matches.

Ruben Amorim has urged Rasmus Hojlund not to become ‘frustrated’ after failing to score in Manchester United ’s 2-1 win over Leicester City in the FA Cup on Friday night. United came from a goal down at Old Trafford were rescued by a late header from Harry Maguire, who was offside, in order to secure their place in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Ruben Amorim gave Patrick Dorgu a debut against Leicester City on Friday night but started him on the right side.

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has picked holes in Ruben Amorim's tactic following their win over Leicester City in the FA Cup 4th round on Friday.

Paul Scholes appeared to criticise Ruben Amorim ’s tactics during Manchester United ’s last-gasp victory against Leicester City in the FA Cup on Friday night. United delivered a dismal first-half performance at Old Trafford and were behind at the break as Bobby De Cordova-Reid opened the scoring for Leicester.

Amorim could mix things up further by moving the Dutchman to the central centre-back position and Maguire to the left. Maguire has experience playing as the left-sided defender in a three for England and Hull City but he is more of a ball-carrying centre-back than a passer.

Manchester United find themselves in a desperate period but surely Ruben Amorim's hints at his job being in peril are premature?

Patrick Dorgu and Ayden Heaven were the only new additions made to Ruben Amorim's Manchester United squad last month.
