Man United's failure to sign a top striker is inexcusable and Ruben Amorim has been left with a Frankenstein's monster of a squad... but it could be good news for Chido Obi, writes CHRIS WHEELER

With more than an hour gone at Old Trafford and no end in sight to Rasmus Hojlund's marathon goal drought, Ruben Amorim looked to his bench and summoned Chido Obi.

Off went Hojlund who has now gone 18 hours and 38 minutes without a goal since his double against Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League way back in mid-December.

The only time he threatened Fulham's goal in this FA Cup tie came in the 14th minute when Christian Eriksen crossed from the left and Hojlund got free of Calvin Bassey to meet the ball first time at the near post but skied it high into the Stretford End.
