Ex-Manchester United striker Louis Saha says poor service is the cause for Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial's struggles in front of goal.
The pair have scored five in seven league matches since the 4-0 win over Chelsea on opening day.
"Don't get me wrong, those guys have talent and all that — I really like the potential, it is enormous," Saha told The Athletic.
"But they are playing in a configuration where there is no link to express themselves. 'I had big players around me.
"If I was not performing people could blame the squad, the tactics. "Cristiano [Ronaldo] hasn't scored?" We didn't play well. "Van Nistelrooy didn't score?" He didn't have the opportunities, we didn't cross. Because the guy: He. Will. Score.
"Now, you look, and the excuse is, "Pogba hasn't played." It is crazy to put a club in this position. I'm sorry but you can't put the blame on Rashford, you can't put the blame on Martial, you can't put the blame on the newcomers."
