Against some really below average opposition.
Yes, they're still goals, but his performances are nowhere near the level that his fans are claiming they're at. And that's it. That is the only point. He's not as good as people claim he is. At this current juncture, there are far better players in the world. Who both score goals and contribute to their respective teams in other ways. United have essentially sacrificed whatever progress they made under Solskjaer, ignored the need for a midfielder and a forward that would fit Bruno/Rashford/Sancho etc and gone with a 37 year old who hangs around in the penalty box. Awesome. Keep at it.
