Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says their goalscoring must improve.

While they're the highest scorers in the Premier League, that is skewed by the 15 goals they plundered in two games against Southampton and Leeds United.

Mason Greenwood and Anthony Martial are both underperforming compared to last year's returns, while Marcus Rashford's finishing was highlighted again during the win against Real Sociedad.

“We are the highest scoring team in the Premier League, so that's something to build on," said Solskjaer.

“But it's fair to say that Mason, Anthony and Marcus – the forwards who scored so many goals last season - haven't really hit those same numbers this time.

“I'm looking at it as a positive because when they start scoring then we will be a much better outfit and our results will continue to improve.

“They are getting closer, but it's a case of finding that better finishing."
