Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Manchester United continue to be an enigma.

They haven’t scored a Premier League goal from open play at Old Trafford for two months and yet scored four from open play in one match at the same venue against RB Leipzig in the Champions League.

They scored four times away from home against Newcastle and three goals at each of Brighton and Everton, yet somehow find scoring in their own backyard nigh on impossible.

It should be said that Saturday night’s 1-0 home win over West Bromwich Albion, their first league win at Old Trafford since July 4, could have been far more emphatic.

Baggies goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, who spent nine years as a United player, made a string of outstanding saves and was beaten only by a re-taken Bruno Fernandes penalty.

But that’s precisely the problem. United should have been out of sight, but didn’t take the many chances that came their way.
