MU's firepower explodes

Manchester United are leading the Premier League in shots on goal with 194.

Manchester United are leading the Premier League in shots on goal with 194.

That number is not just about the change in attacking style, but also reflects the proactive spirit that Ruben Amorim has instilled in the team. Last season, United often lacked ideas at the back of the pitch, easily stifled by deep-lying defences. This season, they have found a more direct, faster and more organised attacking rhythm.

The notable point is the way MU deploys the ball. They try to get the ball into the final third with fewer touches, use more wing attacks and exploit the space between the two lines. That creates more shooting opportunities, while helping the team maintain a constant pressure on the field. The sharp increase in shots shows that MU is no longer just waiting for a moment of brilliance, but has built a more stable attacking mechanism.

Zirkzee, Mount and Bruno Fernandes have clearly benefited. They have more situations to shoot easily, instead of having to fend for themselves in tight spaces. Even Bruno Fernandes has had less of a creative burden when the system has supported him better. Creating 194 shots is not an achievement to brag about, but proof that MU has laid the foundation for progress.

Of course, the number of shots does not guarantee victory. United still need to improve their finishing and their ability to choose the final option. But overall, leading the league in shots on goal shows they are on the right track. In a season where every game is as tense as a bowstring, that is the most positive signal Amorim’s team can send to their fans.
