Ralf Rangnick believes Manchester United have a striker shortage after drawing for the fifth time out of the last seven games against Watford.
Ralf Rangnick tells Manchester United players what they must do in top four race

Manchester United's players must start performing for the full 90 minutes, rather than just in portions of games, if they are to finish in the Premier League's top four.
That's according to interim manager Ralf Rangnick, who was still able to find positives from Tuesday's draw with Burnley despite the disappointing result.
United were looking for a strong response after their shocking FA Cup elimination at the hands of Championship side Middlesbrough last week and they looked to be giving one in the first 45 minutes.
They dominated the Clarets in the first half, went ahead through Paul Pogba's fine strike and were unlucky not to be three goals to the good after two strikes were controversially disallowed.
However, all of the side's missed chances would once again come back to haunt them as Burnley came out fighting after the break and levelled through Jay Rodriguez.
Buoyed by the strike, Burnley looked likely to take the lead for a spell of the match as United struggled to recover from the blow.
As the minutes ticked down Rangnick's side managed to apply some pressure but despite their efforts, they were once more unable to find an elusive winner, with a brief poor spell costing them two points.
As a result, they have slipped out of the final Champions League place, being leapfrogged by West Ham, and have opened the door for Tottenham and Arsenal - who still have games in hand - to move level on points with them this week.
Rangnick believes the result has made United's upcoming fixtures against Southampton and Brighton even more important and has told his players they must start playing well for the entirety of matches if they are to win them.
“Even if we had won [against Burnley], it would have been important but now
