Erik ten Hag has few concerns about Manchester United defensively and is instead focused on improving their attack as his side head to Sevilla on Thursday.
United have been without a number of key men at the back, including Lisandro Martinez, who will miss the remainder of the season.
Martinez sustained a broken metatarsal in last week’s 2-2 draw at home to Sevilla in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final.
Own goals from Tyrell Malacia and Harry Maguire saw United improbably throw away a two-goal lead at Old Trafford, yet Ten Hag is not worried about a repeat.
He is looking to see United make progress in front of goal after a succession of wasteful performances. They have underperformed their xG in seven consecutive Premier League games, falling short by 1.5 in each of their past two outings.
“Our organisation all over the pitch is quite good. We need to do better attacking,” Ten Hag explained, adding: “I am confident that we can score goals tomorrow.”
The return of Marcus Rashford would aid Ten Hag’s cause, with the forward “available” after travelling with the team but set to be the subject of a matchday decision on his fitness.
Impressing at the other end of the pitch, meanwhile, is David de Gea, despite a difficult start to life under Ten Hag.
The goalkeeper’s limited ability playing out with his feet caused problems in the early weeks of the season and appeared to indicate he was ill-suited to the manager’s tactics.
But De Gea has remained United’s number one and leads the Golden Glove race with 14 Premier League clean sheets.
“Stopping goals, that is the main job for a goalkeeper,” Ten Hag said.
“Everyone has their own particular style. Nowadays, in possession, it has become more and more important at top levels.
“But at the end of the day it is about stopping goals, shots, crosses, one-on-ones. I think David is a complete goalkeeper.”
