There's been plenty of talk around Manchester United's physical metrics this season.
Is it just noise? Or cause for concern?
The answer is likely somewhere in the middle. United rank 20th in total distance covered per 90, but there is no correlation to more running = more wins.
Their pressing structure does seem to lack clarity however, with their pressure totals per 30 minutes out of possession ranking 19th/20 (indicating mid and low blocks), but their final third pressures ranking 4th/20.
In terms of squad profiles, there seems to be two distinct types of players. Looking at our Athleticism Score, which benchmarks physical output against position peers and converts it to a 0-100 percentile, United have 6 players with good scores, but there is a steep drop off after that. Their minutes weighted Athleticism Score of 44.4 ranks 17th out of 20.
