Quite how a Jose Mourinho-led team conceded as many as Manchester United did at the beginning of the season remains a mystery.

While it is true that none of the team’s current defenders can be classified as world-class (unless world-class means being totally inept), the Red Devils have been staggeringly good at conceding.

David De Gea has seen the ball go past him 43 times in 32 games (the same number as Newcastle United which sits in 15th place on the league table).

The attack has more or less performed according to expectations (its 61-goal tally is only bettered by 3 teams; Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal).

Games involving the Red Devils have produced Over 2.5 outcomes (three goals or more) 24 times this season.

Only Fulham has a worse record of high scoring games this season hence their relegation back to the Championship.

Not even Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s arrival has stemmed this record as 10 games under his reign have ended with three goals or more. To be fair though, 8 of these games have ended in wins for the Red Devils.

This has meant that the Red Devils have produced lots of high scoring games and will likely continue until the end of the season.
