Rojo: Lack of goals hurting Manchester United

Manchester United need to be rediscover their clinical
edge as soon as possible, according to left-back
Marcos Rojo.

Marcos Rojo is concerned by Manchester United's lack of goals
after Louis van Gaal's men drew blanks in each of their
previous two fixtures.

United followed up a 0-0 draw at home to local rivals
Manchester City last Sunday with a penalty shoot-out
elimination at the hands of Middlesbrough following a 120
goalless minutes in the last 16 of the League Cup, also at Old
Trafford.

The Argentine believes the team's difficulty in finding the back
of the net cost them on Wednesday and needs to be addressed
quickly.

"The best chances [in the match with Middlesbrough] fell to us,
but we couldn't manage to convert any of them," Rojo told
MUTV.

"So then it went to penalties, which are always a lottery, and
unfortunately it wasn't to be for us this time.

"It hurt a lot and we were still smarting afterwards because it's
an important competition and we wanted to go a lot further in it.

"So coming off the back of two games on the trot without being
on the mark does hurt and frustrate you a bit, but we are doing
a good job at the back and defending well.

"We just need to turn the chances that we're creating into
goals."

Louis van Gaal's side travel to Selhurst Park to face Crystal
Palace in the Premier League on Saturday and Rojo is expecting
a difficult game in London.

He believes the visitors will need to be wary of Yannick Bolasie,
Bakary Sako and former United winger Wilfried Zaha.

"They will be strong and will try and take the game to us, but we
need to go there ready to battle hard for the entire 90 minutes if
we want to grab all three points," he said.

"I've seen a few of their games and they are very skilful and
above all very quick, so we are going to have to be on our guard
and mark them tightly to deny them the space they need to play
well."
