Manchester United's newly assembled frontline, which cost around £200 million, is grappling with early-season teething problems as they navigate the Premier League. The team recently suffered a disappointing 1-1 draw against Fulham, marking a challenging start to the season. Despite a win over Bournemouth during their pre-season tour, the lack of cohesion in the attacking unit has raised concerns among fans and analysts alike.

The high-profile signings of players like Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko were expected to bolster United's attack, especially after a season where the club managed just 44 league goals—their worst tally since the 1973-74 season. However, after two league matches, United has scored only one goal from open play, relying on an own goal and a penalty, leaving many to question the effectiveness of their new acquisitions. Notably, Bruno Fernandes missed a crucial penalty in the draw against Fulham, which could have secured a vital win for the club.

Despite the challenges, manager Ruben Amorim remains optimistic about the squad's potential, highlighting that they are creating ample chances. However, he acknowledged the need for the players, particularly Sesko, to adapt to the Premier League's demands quickly. With their next fixture against newly promoted Burnley approaching, the urgency to find a winning formula is paramount. Amorim's belief in the team's ability to score is buoyed by the attacking talent they possess, but the clock is ticking as they seek to transform their promising signings into tangible results on the pitch. The pressure is on for United to deliver, especially with a tough season ahead and a need to regain their status among the league's elite.
