Paul Wilkes reports back with Stats Zone after second-half goals are swapped at Old Trafford
A lack of creativity and ingenuity was a familiar sight for Manchester United fans last season under Louis van Gaal. The 4-1 win over Leicester last weekend was a huge relief, then, even if three of those goals did come from set-pieces.
Against Stoke, the scoreline was far from impressive for Jose Mourinho’s men – not least considering that before this game only West Ham had conceded more goals than the Potters this season.
