Blind: United need more luck to score goals



Manchester United have played out five scoreless
draws in all competitions this season.

Manchester United utility Daley Blind said his team-mates must
improve their finishing in the final third.

United were criticised once more after failing to find the net in
Saturday's goalless draw at home to West Ham.

Louis van Gaal's men have played out five scores stalemates in
all competitions this season, excluding their 0-0 draw against
Middlesbrough in the League Cup, which they eventually lost on
penalties.

Blind admitted United have to improve in front of goal after
firing a blank for the second successive game at Old Trafford.

"You need to finish. If you want to win, you need to finish. In the
first half, they got some chances with set-pieces," the
Netherlands international told MUTV.

"We were dangerous as well in the first few minutes of the
game. In the second half, I think we deserved the three points.

We created the chances but I keep repeating myself - you need
to finish.

"The fans are disappointed and we are as well with the result so
we have to move on. Of course this was an opportunity to be at
the top of the table - that's why we're all disappointed with this
draw."

Blind insisted United's players are remaining positive ahead of a
crunch Champions League clash with Wolfsburg on Tuesday.

United must win in Germany to guarantee qualification from
Group B ahead of third-placed PSV and Blind added: "I can say
something about the spirit - everybody works really hard and
everybody is working for each other. We don’t give away
chances, we are well organised defensively.

"We need a little bit of luck maybe with the chances. We have to
recover and get our minds clear and go on to the next game. It's
a very important one."
