So Why Does This Keep Happening?

While it seems this a bit of a coincidence, the finishing ability of the United attack has been very poor which leads to the rise in saves for opposition goalkeepers. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is one of the best strikers in the world, but this year he has lacked some composure in front of goal. He still has scored over 20 goals but is still not at his best. Along with Ibrahimovic, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Juan Mata, and Paul Pogba have all been at fault for missing opportunities in front of the net. The Red Devils must improve their finishing ability or else opposing goalkeepers will continue to come into Old Trafford and rack up saves.
