Gabby Agbonlahor makes cheeky offer to help misfiring Man United flops and explains why they are ‘lucky’
Gabby Agbonlahor has cheekily offered to go and coach Manchester United’s stars on how to finish their chances. The Aston Villa legend was discussing the Red Devils on talkSPORT Breakfast following their 1-0 defeat to Tottenham on Sunday. Gabby Agbonlahor has cheekily offered to help coach Man United’s attackersGetty Man United had 16 opportunities to find the back of the net in north London, but managed to only get six on target. Of those six, the Red Devils failed to find the back of the net. It means that Ruben Amorim‘s side have now scored just two goals in their last four games, while having the joint-16th worst attack in the Premier League. Two of the Red Devils’ top goalscorers are currently unavailable to the club, with Amad Diallo ruled out for several weeks an ankle injury. He is the club’s top scorer with six this term, while Bruno Fernandes is second with five. Their third-top goalscorer is Marcus Rashford who is currently on loan with Aston Villa for the second half of the season. Excluding that trio, no member of Amorim’s squad has netted more than three times in all competitions this term. Speaking on talkSPORT Breakfast, host Jeff Stelling suggested that Man United needed to hire a new finishing coach, with Agbonlahor replying: “I did my coaching badges with Ruben Amorim. “So if he wants to get in touch he has got my number! “We’ve done a bit of coaching in Belfast, we’ve done our badges. Ruben Amorim is struggling to get a tune out his Man United attackersGetty Man United are currently without two of their three top scorers “If he wants me to come and help then I can do a bit of finishing with Hojlund, Zirkzee, and Garnacho especially, I’d always love to help a massive club like Manchester United.” The former Aston Villa striker knows a thing or two about finding the back of the net, scoring 74 Premier League goals in his career. Agbonlahor added: “You know what else I was thinking, Jeff? “Manchester United are lucky that they’re not in a different country because I tell you some of their European leagues you wouldn’t be able to go for dinner in the city if you’re performing like they are. “A club of Manchester United size and fan base for the players to be 15th in the league, losing at home so regularly. “Imagine playing for Napoli or these teams like in Europe, no way are you going out in the city.” Match Stats Defeat to Tottenham leaves Man United in 15th position in the Premier League table, but still have a 12-point buffer on the relegation zone. Next up is a trip to face Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday lunchtime – a clash that is live on talkSPORT.
