The goals tally suggests otherwise
If you actually watch United the number of chances created in open play have been staggeringly low recently. They won a very poor league last year mainly thanks to Vidic et al keeping it tight at the back. In fact going forward last year was probably the worst I’ve seen United – bar the late Ruud era – since Sexton was giving us all nightmares.
I’ll repeat it once more; United totalled just 68 goals last season. For United that is an appalling record, although they’ve twice done worse in the Ronaldo era. You’ve got to go back to 93 for the previous time they failed to break the 70 barrier.
