Morgan Schneiderlin: 'Forwards need more support'

Morgan Schneiderlin believes that Manchester United's forwards are not solely to blame for the team's failure to score in the last three matches.

Morgan Schneiderlin has refused to place the blame on the Manchester United forwards after they failed to score for a third successive game in a stalemate with Crystal Palace.

A goalless draw against Manchester City on Sunday was followed by a League Cup exit to Middlesbrough, who triumphed on penalties at Old Trafford after 180 minutes without a breakthrough.

It was a similar story at Selhurst Park as Louis van Gaal's men escaped with a point against a dominant Palace side, but Schneiderlin believes that the likes of Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial need more support.

"It's another clean sheet and another game without losing but we want to win the title and we can't have the other teams in front go away.

"When you look at the players we have it's not a worry. We have seen them in training and we know they have the quality, but it's not just the strikers, it's everyone in the team.

"We have to get through this period and have the confidence to keep going and believing that we will score goals."

United now switch their focus to Tuesday's Champions League game against CSKA Moscow.
