Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had a big impact at Manchester United
The attack is back for Manchester United. We break down the statistics on their transformation under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer …
The return of Manchester United against Burnley has allowed its players to score 28 shots on goal, their highest total since a Premier League match since 32 attempts against Middlesbrough in December 2016. The draw ended their winning streak under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but their new attack the intention was once again obvious.
Since his appointment six weeks ago, Solskjaer has led United to eight wins out of nine, taking 19 points out of a possible 21 in the Premier League. United should he win at Leicester on Super Sunday, he will have won the same number of league matches as Jose Mourinho this season with an amount halved.
The statistics highlight the dramatic transformation of United under Solskjaer.
