Big Chances created: Liverpool dominate; Man Utd way down after huge drop-off

Manchester United created the third-most Big Chances in the Premier League in 22/23. A season later in 23/24, they were down in 14th.

United ended the season languishing in 14th place in the Big Chances Created metric. On average, Ten Hag’s side carved out out less than 1.6 big chances. And that’s with Bruno Fernandes, one of the Premier League’s most creative individuals.

The drop-off from the season before is perhaps the most alarming aspect for Ten Hag. In 22/23, only Liverpool and Manchester City created more big chances than United. Now most of the league is at it.

Liverpool and Manchester City are split in 23/24 by Newcastle United, who had a brilliant attacking season with Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon in form.

Tottenham being above Arsenal is one interesting snippet of information, while West Ham were even worse than Manchester United.
