Deep dives
Ahmad's Injury Impact
Ahmad's injury is a significant blow to Manchester United, deeply affecting the team's attacking potential. Having contributed to 43% of the club's goals in the Premier League this season with six goals and six assists, his absence leaves a critical void. With Bruno Fernandes being the next best contributor at only 11 goals, the team's goal-scoring problems become starkly evident. The team's performance against Tottenham highlighted the ongoing struggles, as they failed to score for the tenth time this season, with Ahmad's absence intensifying concerns about the squad's overall capability to mount an effective attack.
