Luke Shaw identifies Manchester United’s weakness after draw with Leeds.
Manchester United’s Luke Shaw was frustrated at Manchester United’s failure to make their chances count following a barren draw at Leeds.
Shaw has called on his Manchester United teammates to find a cutting edge in front of the goal.
The Red Devils dominated the match, creating better chances at Elland Road but Marcus Rashford, Daniel James, and Bruno Fernandes all missed opportunities to put United ahead.
The draw means United are eight clear of Leicester City in the race for second with the Foxes having one game in hand.
Ole Gunnar team now is 10 behind Manchester City, with the draw at Leeds extinguishing any faint hopes of a title charge.

Though the team displayed a clinical defense, Shaw acknowledged that the team did not take a more clinical approach in the final third.
While speaking to MUTV, Shaw said:
“I don’t think they really had too many chances, we’re defending right, we’ve improved a lot since the start of the season, we were conceding way too many goals and we knew that as a back unit and we’ve worked on that.
“We need to keep pushing ourselves to be more clinical in front of goal, because a Man United side with the talent we’ve got we need to be winning today.
“I think they changed the way they play a little bit, when they came to Old Trafford they were pressing higher and much more aggressively. They were a bit more cautious this time but I still feel we should have won the game.
“They didn’t create much for Deano [to deal with], we got in their box numerous times but we weren’t clinical enough. We dropped two points that are crucial.
“We didn’t create too many clear cut chances, but the quality we have in our team, it’s that split second that can win you a game and we’ve got that in abundance, we should be taking chances that we had today. We move on to a very, very important game on Thursday that we need to win.”
