Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is growing increasingly frustrated with Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martials poacher abilities, reports say.
The duo have led Manchester Uniteds attacking line so far this season and have scored two goals each.
After a blistering opening day thumping of Chelsea, United have picked up two draws and suffered a defeat to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.
Solskjaer has put his faith in Martial and Rashford, but the Athletic claim the United boss has become irritated by the pair.
Specifically, Solskjaer is frustrated with Martial and Rashfords poacher abilities. Solskjaer made scruffy goals his specificity at United, but feels Rashford and Martial are severely lacking in the department.
With teams inviting United to break them down, Solskjaer feels he needs more from his attacking duo.

Solskjaer has his forwards running near-post darting runs during training in an attempt to ensure Martial and Rashford will be in the box more often to tap home.
Since August 2016, Rashford has scored only six Premier League goals inside the six-year box. Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has 14 goals in the same period.
Solskjaer is still working to get his team in peak condition and backed his players to continue to develop after another frustrating draw at Southampton – a game Martial missed through injury.
The last three games, we deserved to win all three of them but that doesnt give us any comfort on the table, he said.
But it does give us comfort that were doing the right things, were on the right track.
With the players weve got here now, and whats happening on the training ground, preparation before the games, every single thing is spot on, he said.
