All Man Utd players since 2023 ranked by points per game – and there’s a surprising top player!
Manchester United’s points-per-game stats from the last three full seasons have a surprising leader—someone you might not expect, even ahead of club captain Bruno Fernandes.
Right now, United are going through a bit of a tough time. Michael Carrick is likely leaving Old Trafford just six months into his two-year contract after winning only one of his first 10 Premier League games this season. Mauricio Pochettino is the main favorite to take over if the club’s top bosses decide to part ways with Carrick. Pochettino is said to be interested in the job and would want to bring his own style and ideas to the team.
If hired, Pochettino would be the 12th manager since Sir Alex Ferguson left in 2013, and the fourth permanent boss this season alone.
Among players with at least 50 starts over the past three seasons, Amad Diallo surprisingly has the best points-per-game at 1.78, according to mufcinfo.com. He’s just slightly ahead of Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire. Even Bruno Fernandes, who has played 105 games in this period, has a PPG of 1.59.
Amad grew into a regular starter under Ruben Amorim before the coach was sacked in January. He stayed important to the squad under Carrick last year but has struggled a bit recently. Since Carrick’s first game in charge in January, Amad has only been involved in one Premier League goal, during a 3-0 win against Brighton.
After returning from injury in October, Amad has started every Premier League game, though his only goal contribution since then was an assist in a Champions League loss to Como.
Though Amad holds the top PPG record among players with 50+ starts, Bryan Mbuemo is the current top scorer in the squad with over ten starts, boasting an impressive 2.06 PPG since joining last season.
On the flip side, Kobbie Mainoo has the lowest PPG (1.54) among players who’ve appeared in the last four seasons, with 59 starts. Meanwhile, Joshua Zirkzee and Manuel Ugarte, both new arrivals in 2024, have the lowest PPG for players with at least 10 starts—0.95 and 0.93, respectively, slightly below goalkeeper Altay Bayindir.
Some players have faced criticism for their mindset during this tough time, but no one can question Amad’s effort. He’s committed to giving his all for the club.
“I want to leave a mark here in Manchester, so people say: ‘We had this guy, he was incredible,’” Amad said last month. “I don’t want to leave and hear people say: ‘He had the talent but didn’t do enough.’ I want to give everything because playing for Man United is a privilege. I want to bring something special to the club—it means a lot to me.”
Amad still has a long road ahead before he can be called a legend at Old Trafford, but he’s determined to keep pushing to make that happen.
