Manchester United officially leads the Premier League in an intriguing statistic

Post-match statistics from the Liverpool game indicate that Manchester United is following the trend of some other Premier League clubs by utilizing long passes to create breakthroughs during matches.

Recent data shows that Manchester United leads the Premier League in the number of long balls played this season. This is surprising in an era of modern football that emphasizes possession and building from the back. Under Ruben Amorim, the Red Devils appear to be adopting a playing style similar to that of Arsenal, Bournemouth, or Everton during Sean Dyche’s era.
