With just two matches remaining in a miserable Premier League campaign, Manchester United are staring at one of their worst goalscoring records in modern history.
The Reds have scored just 42 goals in 36 games, tied with West Ham and only ahead of Everton among non-relegated sides.
For a club with ambitions of European dominance, the lack of firepower has been glaring — especially when £72 million signing Rasmus Hojlund has managed just five goals in 30 league appearances this season.

Ruben Amorim is expected to oversee a summer clear-out, and reinforcements in attack are seen as absolutely vital.
United’s scouting department has been linked with several forwards across Europe in recent weeks, but the latest name to emerge is much closer to home — and may raise eyebrows among the Old Trafford faithful.
According to Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth, Manchester United are now ‘keeping an eye’ on Nottingham Forest winger Callum Hudson-Odoi ahead of the summer transfer window.
The former Chelsea star is entering the final year of his contract at the City Ground, and while talks over a new deal are ongoing, Forest may be tempted to cash in to avoid losing him for free in 2025.
Callum Hudson-Odoi, once a prodigious talent at Stamford Bridge, has endured a turbulent few years, with injuries and inconsistent form stalling his progress.

A failed loan spell at Bayer Leverkusen in 2022/23 seemed to signal his decline, but the 23-year-old has found renewed form since joining Forest in 2023.
He’s now recorded 13 goals and six assists in 68 appearances for the East Midlands club, including the winner in a famous 1-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield in September — Forest’s first win there since 1969.
United see Hudson-Odoi as a low-risk, high-upside option who can add pace and flair to the flanks, especially with the futures of Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Antony all uncertain.
With Ineos pushing for smart investments, the three-time England international could be an affordable option — and if Forest fail to tie him down to a new deal soon, United may be ready to pounce.
