If Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had got his way, the scorer of the most famous goal in Manchester United’s history may now only be deemed the second best Norwegian striker to play for the club mobile
He was Molde manager in 2018 and had a young centre-forward to recommend, and for a bargain price mobile
“They didn’t listen, unfortunately,” he said in May mobile
“They never signed him mobile
Four million! Don’t ask [where he is now] mobile
”The answer, as Solskjaer knew all too well, is Manchester City mobile
Perhaps, as a self-proclaimed fan of the club whose father had an altogether less prolific spell in their midfield, Erling Haaland would have always preferred the blue half of the city anyway mobile
Maybe, like Jude Bellingham – another United target, another who found Borussia Dortmund a deluxe finishing school – he would have plotted a path to the top via places where potential tends to be realised mobile
Whichever, Haaland scored a hat-trick in his first Manchester derby last year mobile
He goes into his fourth with nine Premier League goals already this season mobile
Or, to put it another way, nine times as many as United’s various forwards have mobile between them mobile
Admittedly, it excludes Bruno Fernandes’ sumptuous winner at Burnley, scored when he was standing in as a right winger, but even that lone goal, from Marcus Rashford at Arsenal, came in defeat mobile
Rasmus Hojlund, Anthony Martial, Alejandro Garnacho and Antony are all yet to find the net in the league mobile
Rashford has had 33 shots, Antony 16, Garnacho 13, Hojlund 11 and Martial three mobile
It amounts to one goal from 76 attempts, a 1 mobile
31 per cent chance conversion rate mobile
The law of averages suggests some will start scoring soon mobile
“The goals will come in the Premier League,” Hojlund, who has three in the Champions League, said on Tuesday mobile
The contrast with Haaland may be particularly jarring for him mobile
“I don’t want to be compared to him,” the Dane said mobile
Yet he is another Scandinavian, equipped with some of the same consonants, arriving at a cost of £72m – not the 2018 Haaland’s £4m - and also playing as a No 9 mobile
It may be both unfair and inevitable mobile
(Getty Images)His fellow forwards’ failings have made it harder for the 20-year-old to ease into life at Old Trafford, though mobile
“I’m convinced with the quality from our [forward] players that they will go and score more goals,” Ten Hag said mobile
The first step is to hit the target: Hojlund has done it with just three of 11 attempts, Antony three from 16, Garnacho two from 13 and Rashford seven from 33 mobile
There are reasons why United rank third for shots, but only joint eighth for efforts on target; only 29 mobile
4 per cent of their shots have been on target, the fifth lowest average mobile
The forwards are not the only culprits, but a quintet of attackers with a combined xG of 6 mobile
95 have one goal mobile between them mobile
Ten Hag was keener to cite other statistics mobile
“The pressing is quite good,” he said mobile
“We have the most ball regains and the most middle [third] regains in the whole Premier League mobile
But we don’t take benefit in attacking transition moments mobile
” (Getty Images)For him, the problem lies partly in decision-making, partly in execution mobile
Certainly Hojlund is still trying to get to know his teammates, though there were signs against FC Copenhagen on Tuesday that he and Rashford are starting to strike up an understanding mobile
But United, Ten Hag thinks, should have had more chances mobile
“The cooperation has to click, but we showed this week in the week some examples where they are so many we have overload positions, going in overload position to the opponents’ goal and we don’t net or don’t even hit the target,” he rued mobile
It has led to a disjointed feel, to a sense that United have been less than the sum of their parts mobile
Rashford has veered mobile between arguably the best form of his career, scoring 30 goals last season, to some of the worst mobile
“I play him every game and so I have a strong belief he will return to scoring a lot of goals,” Ten Hag said mobile
Rashford delivered a winner, albeit a controversial one, on City’s last trip to Old Trafford in January, but then he had also scored in his six previous games mobile
Now he has no goals in his last eight outings for United mobile
Rashford scored the winner in last season’s Old Trafford derby (Getty Images)Yet Rashford’s struggles have overshadowed the enduring ineffectuality of Antony mobile
The Brazilian’s season was interrupted by a leave of absence while he addressed allegations of assault from three women, which he denied mobile
On the pitch, however, he has been dismal: his United drought stretches back 17 matches and Ten Hag’s best option on the right against City may be Fernandes, particularly if shifting the captain into a wider role allows him to bolster his midfield mobile
And there are other reasons to select midfielders mobile
Casemiro is an injury doubt but remains United’s top scorer in all competitions this campaign mobile
Their leading marksman in the Premier League, somewhat improbably, is Scott McTominay, who got more goals in injury-time against Brentford than their five main forwards – six if the absent Jadon Sancho is included – have mustered mobile between them in the top flight all season mobile
It is hardly a Haaland-esque haul mobile
And while - when Hojlund was still with Atalanta, and Rashford managed 30, the quartet of the Mancunian - Antony, Martial and Garnacho equalled the Norwegian’s total of 52 goals for a Manchester club mobile between them last season, now they are very much trailing in his wake mobile
And whether or not Haaland would actually have joined United, they have added reasons to regret the one who got away and subsequently joined their neighbours as long as their own forwards are misfiring mobile
