Manchester United news: How Shane Long’s hot streak is putting Red Devils to shame
Shane Long, who once went 1,320 minutes without a Premier League goal, has netted more times than Manchester United’s entire squad in April.The rejuvenated Southampton striker scored his fourth goal of the month by opening the scoring in the 3-3 draw with Bournemouth on Saturday.1

Shane Long was on target yet again

Meanwhile, the Red Devils have only found the net three times this month.Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s honeymoon has well and truly ended in the last few weeks, with the club slipping out of the top four following a run of three defeats in their last four league matches.United were also recently knocked out of the FA Cup by Wolves and eliminated from the Champions League at the hands of Barcelona.
