Sky Sports has just released statistics that have surprised football fans. Since October 7, no team in the Premier League has won more points than Man Utd.
Specifically, the Old Trafford team played 5 matches. The victory over Luton Town last night (November 11) helped coach Erik ten Hag's team have 12 points in this period and a goal difference of +1.
Man Utd are criticized but no team has a better record in the Premier League in the last 5 rounds.
Man Utd defeated Brentford, Sheffield United, Fulham and Luton Town in turn. The "Red Devils" only lost 0-3 to Man City at home.
Meanwhile, Arsenal - the team currently ranked second in the rankings - only won 10 points after 5 matches. They won 3 matches, lost 1 match, drew 1 match, scored 11 goals and conceded 4.
Man City and Brentford have only played 4 matches. However, even if they win their round 12 matches, these 2 teams cannot have more points than Man Utd's 12.
"You would never think that Man Utd are the best team in the Premier League. Every week they have more problems on and off the pitch. It doesn't feel like they are in good form," commentator Jamie Redknapp said on Sky Sports.
The numbers can be deceiving to fans about Man Utd's form. In fact, the Old Trafford team's four wins have all come against teams in the bottom half of the table. Notably, Man Utd have not won by more than one goal in this run of results.
Man Utd’s recent performance has not reassured their fans. Man Utd were stuck and had poor finishing against Luton Town - a team struggling at the bottom of the table. They had to rely on a goal from Victor Lindelof to take the 3 points.
