Big picture

Solskjaer is rebuilding #MUFC into a sustainable attacking team, while maintaining a win % that surpasses the others. All while removing yrs of deadwood; dealing with Raiola’s disruption; while advancing youth, & reinvigorating the academy. Further results WILL come with maturity

Last season, the average lineup was the youngest in the PL. This season, the 3rd youngest (at 25.6)

SAF always claimed 27-28 age for a title win

Last 9 champions have been 27+

The “can’t win anything with kids” side was still 26.5

That is not a coincidence. Experience matters

#MUFC are statistically improving, & for a young team, have been at a v.good level for nearly a year. They are on schedule, & will still get much better

Remember when it was broken, & the plan was to rebuild & take a longer term approach?

THIS is what that looks like

Respect.
