The numbers show a manager who has secured seven wins from 29 Premier League matches. That record translates into a 24.1 percent win rate, identical to the figure posted by Neil Warnock, a coach who was relegated twice in the league.<\/p>\n<p>The club\u2019s results since April are especially alarming. United have taken only six points in the Premier League during that span, the lowest total of any team competing in the division. By comparison, Leicester, now in the Championship, accumulated eight points over the same period.<\/p>\n<p>Another worrying metric concerns the first half of matches. Since the start of last season, United have completed 29 matches without scoring in the opening 45 minutes. Only Genoa, with 30 such matches, have a worse record among the five major European leagues.<\/p>\n<p>These figures expose both a lack of performance and a lack of reaction within match play. Low scoring rates in the first half combine with a prolonged run of poor results in the league to produce the club\u2019s current standing in statistical terms. The win rate of 24.1 percent places the team in an unenviable historical comparison and highlights the scale of the short-term decline.<\/p>\n<p>Opta\u2019s compilation of these specific statistics offers clear, comparable measures: total Premier League wins under the current manager, points accrued since April, and the frequency of scoreless first halves since the start of last season. Taken together, they present a concise, numerical verdict on the club\u2019s present trajectory.<\/p>\n<p>There is little room for nuance in these raw figures. The club\u2019s recent sequence of results and its performance across first halves are plainly visible in the data, and the measurements point to a troubling period for Manchester United.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Opta: Amorim 7 wins from 29 PL games (24.1%); United six points since April; 29 scoreless 1st halves<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2029,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[230,179],"tags":[836],"class_list":["post-2030","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-analytics-stats","category-manchester-united","tag-opta"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2030","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2030"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2030\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2031,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2030\/revisions\/2031"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2029"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2030"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2030"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2030"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
