Man Utd: Average is the New Reality?
25 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Manager Amorim has transformed United from poor to average.
- Team's average age increased, pushing for immediate wins.
- New attackers have significantly boosted offensive performance.
Manchester United has found a new equilibrium this season, settling into a state of "average" performance under manager Ruben Amorim. This marks a significant departure from the struggles experienced last season, where points-per-game and goal differential declined. While not yet challenging for major trophies, the team is no longer in a state of constant crisis.
The team's improvement is partly attributed to new attacking players and a faster tempo with the ball. However, the squad's average age has increased to 26.5 years, suggesting a focus on immediate results rather than long-term development. This "win-now" approach brings added pressure given their current standing.
Amorim himself has demonstrated tactical evolution, particularly in his approach to goal kicks and overall play speed. Despite these positive adjustments and a more stable environment, the club's future direction hinges on whether this average performance is a sustainable step forward or a temporary plateau before further evolution or change.
