It's no news that Manchester United are currently struggling to score goals, but a goalless first half against FCSB in the Europa League has brought up a rather remarkable stat.
It is now 13 consecutive opening 45 minutes in which Ruben Amorim's side have failed to hit the net, dating back to Rasmus Højlund's strike against Nottingham Forest on December 7.
Bruno Fernandes' penalty in the 3-1 home loss to Brighton is their only goal before the referee has blown the half-time whistle since.
And it's not just been an issue under Amorim, unsurprisingly.
United have dominated possession in Bucharest, and have looked far likelier to score, but so far, it's the same old story in front of goal. It all has shades of Louis van Gaal's second season at Old Trafford.
Can they turn it on after the break?
