Team manager Ralf Rangnick from the English record champions Manchester United longs for an end to the goal drought of his superstar Cristiano Ronaldo (37).
“It’s clear that he should score more goals,” said the former Bundesliga coach before the Red Devils’ Premier League duel on Saturday (1.30 p.m.) against Southampton.
Returnee Ronaldo, United’s top scorer with 14 goals this season, has gone five games without a goal in all competitions. CR7 last experienced such a dry spell in 2010 in the service of Real Madrid.
“I think we’ve created enough chances and opportunities in the last few games, but we just haven’t scored enough goals,” said Rangnick, looking at the recent setbacks in the FA Cup and in the league: “But that’s not just one Cristiano’s problem, but also all the other players, especially the attacking players.”
