Manchester United's attack was so bad that Ten Hag couldn't stand it, and he couldn't shoot when he should have scored! The boss complains about injuries

Since Ten Hag took charge of Manchester United, goals have been a constant concern. After a 1-1 draw in the Europa League against Fenerbahce, the 54-year-old Netherlands bemoaned his return from the victory, criticising one of his team's attacks by name, which should have been an easy goal, but failed to achieve even a decent shot.

It was a scene in the 60th minute when right-back Diogu · Darlow broke down the flank, and his cross from the right side of the box was met by three team-mates, with centre-forward Hojlund in front of goal, left winger Alejandro ·Garnacho at the far end, and Marcus Rashford near the penalty spot.

If Darlow can get past the only defender in front of goal and pass the ball to Hojlund, who is scrambling in the six-yard box, he will face the empty net directly. However, the Portugal wing-back, perhaps afraid of being cleared by the goalkeeper and defenders, opted for an inverted triangle pass to Rashford, however, his passing line was not good enough, and Rashford was not fully prepared, so he hurriedly stretched out his ungood left foot and barely hooked it, and the ball did not even fly towards the goal. In the post-match statistics, the goal is not considered a shot.

The broadcasters produced a four-and-a-half-minute highlight reel after the game, and this attack was not even included. The vast majority of the big teams should have scored from this attack, and at least created a dangerous shot to force the goalkeeper to make a good save, and United squandered it at will, which shows the team's inefficiency in attack.

Ten Hag criticised after the game: 'We missed some big chances, like that brilliant link up the right and Diogu [Darlow] didn't get Rashford's final pass on the spot. It was supposed to be a goal, the right side was brilliantly organised, the gap behind the opposition defence, it was just the last pass, which is a shame because if you were 2-1 up you could have won the game.'

It is no accident that Manchester United have such attacking problems, and the team has wasted too many simple scoring opportunities, which is why they can only sit in 10th place at the moment, scoring only seven goals in eight games. The team is always hoping for a world wave to score or someone to deliver a brilliant pass to score a goal, and a few simple combinations can't make the final pass.

Manchester United will return to the Premier League on Sunday to travel to West Ham United, who are missing Ten Hag's former Ajax division Kudus, who has been suspended for three games for being red against Tottenham. Ten Hag hopes the return of Bruno · Fernandes will boost the attack, while veteran centre-back Evans also has a chance to return from injury.

"We'll spend the night in Turkey and then fly straight to London and train there on Saturday." Ten Hag said: "We are looking forward to Bruno's return and hopefully Evans will also be in the game."

Against Fenerbahçe, Brazil's €100 million winger Antony fell to the ground without confrontation and was eventually taken off on a stretcher, and after the game he put on a protective boot on his left foot and left the pitch on crutches. Ten Hag said: "I didn't see the process, I only knew second-hand information, I heard it from the team doctor and the physiotherapist and they told me what I saw. So, first of all, I have to watch the video before I can comment on it."

Antony is expected to be out of Manchester United's league action this weekend· alongside the likes of Luke Shaw, Terrell· Malacia, Lenny· Yoro, Harry Maguire, Bryant· Mayno and Mason · Mount.

Ten Hag complained again about United's excessive injuries: "yes! It hindered our level and also affected our position in the league because without the players available you can't make the best squad and that's why we don't have good results. I need more players and the players, coaching staff and other staff all have to do better and work together to make more people available. When the time comes, we're going to be a very difficult team to deal with, and we can be very successful when we're in place, as we've proven over the last few months."
