Why Man Utd's 2-1 Win Over Crystal Was MORE IMPORTANT Than You Think
Statman Dave (YouTube)

Manchester United have started the 25/26 season in mixed form. Excellent results against Liverpool and Brighton have been followed by dropped points against Nottingham Forest, Spurs and 10-man Everton. Despite a lacklustre performance, Ruben Amorim ended a 3-match winless streak with Man Utd’s first win against Crystal Palace since 2023 without star forwards Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko. In this video, Statman Dave breaks down what we’ve learnt from Manchester United’s start to the Premier League season.

Manchester United have lost nine of their last 14 Premier League matches in the month of December.

Here’s hoping for a much better festive period this year... 🤞

Elliot Anderson is the ONLY player across Europe’s top five leagues to have won possession 100+ times and to have played 100+ passes into the final third this season.

Elite ball-winner and distributor. 🔝

No Arsenal player has ever registered more goal involvements in their first five Premier League home games than Eberechi Eze (6 — 4 goals & 2 assists).

Born to play at the Emirates. 🏡

Harry Amass has averaged 6.34 ball recoveries p90 in the Championship this season, which puts him in the top 1% of full-backs in the competition.

Having an excellent season in the second tier. 👏

Erling Haaland has scored 100 goals in 111 Premier League games, the fastest in Premier League history to reach the century.

Fastest Players to 100 Premier League Goals:

E. HAALAND - 111 games
A. Shearer – 124 games
H. Kane – 141 games
S. Agüero – 147 games
T. Henry – 160 games

Robot. 🤖

Erling Haaland has now been directly involved in 118 goals in 111 Premier League games, averaging a goal or assist every 78 minutes, the best record of any player in Premier League history.

100 goals
18 assists

Ridiculous...

Erling Haaland has now scored or assisted 18 goals in the Premier League this season, twice as many as every Premier League player apart from Igor Thiago (11).

Jeremy Doku's game by numbers vs. Fulham:

3 shots
2 recoveries
2 crosses
2 chances created
2 dribbles completed
1 assist
1 goal

Added end product to his game. ⚽️🅰️

Samuel Chukwueze has scored or assisted 5 goals in his last six appearances for Fulham:

🅰️ vs. Bournemouth
❌ vs. Wolves
❌ vs. Everton
🅰️ vs. Sunderland
🅰️ vs. Spurs
⚽️⚽️ vs. Man City

A goal or assist every 40 minutes on this fine run of form. 🫡

Gianluigi Donnarumma made just 1 save from the 5 shots he faced on target against Fulham conceding 4 goals:

🧤 Smith Rowe
⚽️ Smith Rowe
⚽️ Iwobi
⚽️ Chukwueze
⚽️ Chukwueze

We need to have a conversation...

Gianluigi Donnarumma has saved 58% of the shots he has faced in the Premier League this season, the 3rd worst record in the competition:

.
.
.
21st G. DONNARUMMA 58%
22nd Alisson 56%
23rd Bayindir 54%

Flop. 🧤

Amad has created 1.73 chances from open play p90 in the Premier League this season. The only players to have played 1,000+ minutes and averaged more are Jack Grealish and Cody Gakpo.

One of the league’s finest creators. 🙌

Only two players across Europe’s top five leagues have generated more expected goals than Jean-Philippe Mateta this season: Erling Haaland & Kylian Mbappé.

Not bad company. 😅
