Premier League
A statistic that proves how bad Manchester United are in attack
An integral part of the lineup from the exit door. Scott McTominay’s performances in the Manchester United jersey over the last two months show not only the “eye” of Erik ten Haag, but also the attacking function of the Red Devils.
Despite Manchester United’s dominant performance against Chelsea in their 2-1 win, the Reds’ problems continued Scott McTominay – once again – expose with its two goals, the effectiveness of the Red Devils’ strikers.
The Scottish midfielder had to leave Old Trafford in the summer of 2023 with one foot Eric ten Hach not liking his competitive virtues.
However, four months into the Premier League, he is the English club’s number 8 thanks to Casemiro’s injury. The 26-year-old seized the opportunity that came his way and put himself on the list of Manchester United’s best performing players from the touchline.
The performance that exposed the vaunted offensive line
McTominay is a box-to-box midfielder who is comfortable in the area and his goalscoring ability this year highlights the lack of technical ability.
With his five goals in the Premier League, he not only gave his team nine valuable points but also exposed the club’s strikers.
In particular, Manchester United’s top scorer in the league last season, Marcus Rashford, is a long way from his best this year with 17 goals, having scored two goals.
The €75,000,000 Rasmus Hoylund has yet to score a goal, while his substitute Anthony Martial has only scored once. Anthony has no goalscoring record as his wingmate Jadon Sancho is not in Ten Haag’s plans.
Alejandro Garnazzo must – just – counter Everton’s stunning scissors, so the burden of scoring falls on United’s midfielders.
The most typical example of the English team failing to score goals from their strikers in the Premier League is the fact that Bruno Fernandes is the league’s second goalscorer with three goals.
So McTominay comes out of the offside and provides valuable solutions for Manchester United to reduce the gap to the top while proving how poor they are in attack.

After 13 months of negotiations, Sir Jim Ratcliffe acquired 25% of Manchester United’s shares for £1.25 billion (€1.44 billion).
The British billionaire will take charge of the club’s football operations and says he will invest 272 million euros ($300 million) in Old Trafford. At the same time, he made a proposal to acquire a further share of the shares (up to 25%).
