United have scored 13 goals in their last four matches going into the game as Mafuta added: “Goals win games and make the difference that can get us through.
“I think if we can shut the back door and that’s not having a dig at the defenders, I think as a unit if we can concede less then we know that we’re always going to be a threat going forward.”
