Man Utd haven’t scored from a set-piece since February with Solskjaer’s blunt attack sitting bottom of Prem table from corners and indirect free-kicks
MANCHESTER UNITED are currently on the longest run without a set-piece goal in the Premier League.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's blunt Red Devils have struggled in front of goal this season - and haven't scored from a set-piece since FEBRUARY.
Their last set-piece goal was a whopping 219 days ago when Romelu Lukaku, not even at the club anymore, netted against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Every other Premier League team has scored from one in this time, including 14 this season.
United have failed to convert from any of their 38 corners in the league this term, with Scott McTominay missing a very presentable chance against Arsenal at Old Trafford on Monday night.
The Red Devils have generally looked dire in front of goal this season - having not scored more than one goal in any game in all competitions since the opening day.
This run has included easy looking matches against Astana and Rochdale at Old Trafford.
Their latest drab performance came on the plastic pitch temporarily of Alkmaar on Thursday night - as Solskjaer's shocking Reds failed to even register a shot on target against their Dutch hosts.
Mason Greenwood was the only United player to register more than once for the Red Devils in September.
But the 17-year-old is yet to score in the Premier League.
LATEST MAN UTD NEWS
Solskjaer said before the Arsenal match: "You wouldn't mind scoring a few goals from set plays."
And this appears to be an understatement from a man that right now could do with scoring some goals from anywhere.
United travel to St James' Park on Sunday knowing that anything other than a convincing win against Steve Bruce's struggling Newcastle will ramp up the pressure on Solskjaer.
