United striker Rob Hulse is still on track to reach his goals target for the season despite his recent 'drought'.
The former West Bromwich Albion man had revealed at the end of last season that he was setting his sights on 20-goals this season, and he started off well enough with eight goals in the first 11 games.
He hasn't though found the net in any of the last five games - the longest he's gone in his United career without a goal.
There's no concerns at Elland Road though, as the 27-year-old is still joint fourth top scorer in the division and although his training over the past few weeks has been curtailed by an ankle ligament injury, he's still working hard to make sure he's giving his best.
"I don't really pay much attention to how other people are doing in the division," he said of being high up the goalscoring charts.
"But I do look at my own goal per game ratio and mainly how I am playing. I sit down after games at look at the video and look at the chances I had or see how good my link-up play was.
"It's funny because somedays you won't play well but score, and then other days you'll have a good game and not score.
"The main thing is the team winning but of course I love to get on the end of things and finish them off."
Whenever possible United have tried to pass their way en-route to goal, and Hulse gives a lot of credit for that to new head coach John Carver.
"John's come in and put a lot of confidence in the lads to get the ball down and pass it.
"We are good at passing the ball and we maybe need to show that little bit more composure in games but it can be difficult at places like Burnley where they will not make it easy, close the game down and try and turn the game into a fight. We've done well to stand up to teams like that up to now.
"John put's on good sessions and all the lads enjoy them."
