I don’t think it was Zlatan and Lukaku, I think it was down to José having no idea, or desire how to properly utilize either one. His entire plan was a large target man #9, and funneling our entire attack through him. While Rashford and Martial are better at creating in space. I got the feeling they were being discouraged from take-ones, and it was preferred they play safe and through #9. Taking creativity out of their game would be what I think hurt them most. Jose has no idea how to develop young creative attackers, that was the problem.
In addition, as many have pointed out Sanchez signing probably did the most damage. At least the other two provided quality and goals at times.
