Man Utd have one win and one defeat from their first two matches of the new Premier League season.
The new season was supposed to bring fresh beginnings. Instead, it has felt like more of the same for Manchester United.
Things might not be as desperate as they seem, though. While hangover symptoms from last season have hampered the start of the campaign, they also lead to a remedy. Raphael Varane netted United's only goal from their six big chances across both matches, while Brighton have scored eight from nine and Newcastle have netted five from eight. That's a 16.66% conversion rate compared with 88.88% and 62.5%.
United made signing a striker their priority this summer and chose to roll the dice with a move for the raw talent of Hojlund, who netted nine goals in Serie A last season. Even if he needs a while to settle once he returns from injury, Hojlund should at the very least boost the United attack by offering a focal point, something that they have clearly lacked across the first two matches.
Just like last season, United are a goal scorer away from being a much better side. Unlike last season, they might actually have one.
