Jose Mourinho has warned captain Wayne Rooney and Manchester United’s other goal-shy forwards that they must start doing more to lift the burden on Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Rooney has scored just three goals in 20 matches across all competitions this season and failed to add to his tally in Thursday’s Europa League contest against Zorya, which United won 2-0.
United have just 19 Premier League goals this season, with Ibrahimovic scoring eight of those, fewer than any other team in the top seven.
Red Devils manager Mourinho wants a better return from Rooney, who needs just one more goal to equal Bobby Charlton’s all-time goalscoring record at United, but says the onus is not just on the England skipper.
“As an attacking player, normally Rooney scores more goals,” Mourinho told reporters.
