Manchester United are unbeaten in 5 Premier League games — their best run since early 2024 — but how good are the performances behind the results? In this episode, we dive deep into the numbers: 🔴 United are one of only four PL teams to create 25+ chances from every zone (left, centre, right). ⚖️ The smallest difference (7) between their most- and least-productive sides. 🤝 The Amad → Mbeumo partnership is exploding — joint-most open-play assists between two players in the league! 🎯 Bruno → Cunha continues to be a major creative channel. 📉 On the left, injuries + role rotations have limited consistency. 🛡️ Defence, structure, control: Are United finally stabilising? 📅 We also preview the upcoming fixtures and what United need to secure European qualification. Are United on the rise? Or is this just another short-term run? Let’s break it all down.
 
We also dive deep into Manchester United’s four major signings of the season — Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko, and Senne Lammens. We evaluate them across four key areas: Immediate on-pitch impact Consistency Ability to handle Premier League intensity Whether they’re genuine upgrades on last season’s squad With goals, pressing, link-ups, chance creation and defensive contributions all under the microscope, we break down who’s stepping up, who’s struggling, and who might define United’s future.
