Blind confident that the goals will come

DALEY Blind is not concerned about Manchester United's profligacy in front of goal, despite it costing them four points in just two home Premier League matches.

October started with Stoke arriving at Old Trafford and leaving with a fortuitous point, with Jose Mourinho's side boasting 67 per cent possession and getting away 24 shots.

The inspired goalkeeping of Lee Grant ensured a 1-1 draw that day, while the man between the posts proved the scourge of United once more when Burnley visited.

United had 37 shots in a match they totally dominated, yet wayward finishing, resolute defending and Tom Heaton's exceptional display in goal saw the one-sided encounter end 0-0.

Mourinho's men have won just one of their last seven Premier League matches and Zlatan Ibrahimovic has gone six league game without scoring for the first time since 2007, with defender Blind perplexed by the final score.

"It is hard to believe," he said. "I think we created 50 chances, maybe more, then it is hard to believe we didn't even score one goal.

"I think we made the keeper that good because we missed chances, he gets more trust and then he gets in his game.

"He's a good goalkeeper but in spite of that we should have scored a goal. We had so many chances. I think as a team the team performance we were positive and a lot of energy we brought into the team.

"We didn't give much away, not even a big chance, so we did well in defence with the team. It's a bit frustrating.

"There isn't that much more you could do more. The only thing is that we had to finish because we were we were on top of them, we didn't give them any space.

"We created chances, we played attacking football and I think that's what the people want to see, only we missed goals today."

It was an enthralling goalless draw given added spice by Jose Mourinho's half-time sending off, which may incur further disciplinary action from the FA for the Portuguese, being followed by Ander Herrera receiving his marching orders for a harsh-looking second booking.

The 68th-minute dismissal of the Spanish midfielder punctured United's attacking threat until the closing minutes, yet it was still hard to believe they did not win.
