16.10% of shots taken against Manchester United this season have resulted in goals. That’s the highest percentage against any side in the Premier League. Not ideal. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Kobbie Mainoo is averaging 18.7 line-breaking passes p90 in the Premier League this season. The only midfielders averaging more are Elliot Anderson and Declan Rice. £116M. £105M. £0.

Manchester United will spend the international break in the relegation zone, with only Crystal Palace having picked up fewer points this season. 😅
