INCREDIBLE STATISTICS SHOWS HOW MUCH AN OFFENSIVE IMPROVEMENT MANCHESTER UNITED HAVE HAD TO START THEIR SEASON

By

Following Manchester United’s 4-0 victory over Swansea City this afternoon, a remarkable stat has been unearthed by Alex Shaw of ESPN.

Rampant

Jose Mourinho’s outfit made short work of their Welsh opponents at the Liberty Stadium earlier today, with goals from Eric Bailly, Romelu Lukaku, Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial making it two wins from two to start the season for United.

When added to the 4-0 scoreline achieved by the Red Devils in their opening day victory over West Ham United at Old Trafford, an amazing statistic comes to the fore.

Offensive improvement

As fans of the Premier League are well aware, Manchester United often struggled to make their dominance over the English top flight’s smaller sides count last season, with fans of the club regularly left frustrated with stalemates in matchups where they were in complete control.

However, the start of this season has seen this trend turned on its head, with Mourinho’s men looking clinical and ruthless.

From this comes the remarkable statistic:

In just two matches, Manchester United have managed to rack up 15% of their total goals scored in the Premier League last season.

Just to put that into perspective, their current goalscoring rate would see the Old Trafford outfit almost triple their offensive output from 2016/17.

Though it is obviously not realistic to expect United to continue scoring at such an incredible rate, the stat at hand speaks volumes as to the work done by Jose Mourinho and co. on the transfer market and in pre-season this summer.

By their exploits in the Nigerian music industry, both musicians have done more to encourage a ‘concert going culture’ among Nigerians than any other entertainers in the country. Phyno’s Phynofest music festival is currently in its third year and the 2017 edition saw the musician sell out the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in Enugu. Olamide’s OLIC (Olamide Live in Concert) is currently in its fourth year and the 2017 edition was also special because it was the first time Baddo was attempting to fill up the Teslim Balogun Stadium venue of the event. Although some say both musicians are only taking a page out South African rapper Cassper Nyovest’s book by holding shows at stadiums, one cannot help but commend them for their attempts. In this article,  NAIJ.com  will point out the major differences in both Olamide’s s...
