"Manchester United are currently the Premier League's great entertainers. Their 10 games so far this season have yielded 33 goals, more than any of their top-flight rivals. They have scored 17 of those 33 and conceded a worrying 16. On only three occasions has one team not scored in one of their games and United have just one clean sheet."
"Ruben Amorim's men certainly appear to have solved old issues going forward, with only four clubs having scored more than their 17 goals this season, including Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool netting just once more. Liverpool (32 total goals, 18 scored), Brighton (32 total goals, 17 scored) and Bournemouth (31 total goals, 17 scored) are the next biggest entertainers in the top half of the table."
"But United's attacking progress could be coming at a cost, as they have conceded more goals than anyone else in the top half of the Premier League. In fact only the bottom five in the league have conceded more than their 16 goals. United have let in at least two goals in five of their 10 league matches so far, accruing seven points."
Manchester United have produced 33 goals in 10 Premier League games, scoring 17 and conceding 16. The team has recorded just one clean sheet and on only three occasions has one side failed to score. Only four clubs have scored more than United's 17 league goals, while several top-half rivals also show high goal totals. United have conceded more than any other top-half club and have conceded at least two goals in five of their 10 matches, leaving them with seven points. Ruben Amorim uses a 3-4-2-1 system and identifies the goals conceded and shot volume against Nottingham Forest as issues. The club is on course to exceed the high concession rates seen rarely among recent European qualifiers and aims to reduce goals conceded while maintaining scoring output.
