Manchester United may not have enjoyed the smoothest start to their Premier League campaign, but Ruben Amorim’s side has shown a new level of confidence in possession and creativity in the final third.
The Red Devils have already established themselves as one of the most dangerous attacking outfits in the division, constantly forcing opposition defences onto the back foot.
United’s pressing game has been sharper, their link-up play more fluid, and the tactical tweaks made by Ruben Amorim have given the attack an edge not seen in recent years.
With new signings bedding in quickly, there is an early sense that Old Trafford could witness some of its most exciting football in a decade.
Now, the stats from the opening three league matches have confirmed just how dominant United’s front line has been compared to the rest of the league, as Squawka has revealed via X.

Manchester United have registered the highest expected goals (xG) in the Premier League so far with a total of 6.78, underlining the quality and quantity of chances created.
They have also managed the most touches in the opposition penalty area (99), showcasing their ability to consistently break into dangerous positions.
No team has taken more shots than United’s 58, with an impressive 44 of those efforts coming inside the box, a clear sign that they are carving out high-percentage chances rather than relying on speculative attempts.
The only area where they fall just short of leading the league is shots on target, with 16 efforts putting them second overall, proving that while they are creating plenty, the finishing still has room for refinement.
United captain, Bruno Fernandes, also topped one Premier League stat as he has created the most chances so far this season.
Ruben Amorim will be encouraged by these numbers as they reflect his philosophy being translated onto the pitch, but he will also demand sharper execution to ensure United turn dominance into points on the table.
For fans, the early signs are a refreshing change after years of inconsistency in attack, with United now looking like a side capable of overwhelming any opponent.
