Has it become a corner team? TA: Manchester United has scored 14.3 goals per 100 corner kicks this season, ranking first in the Premier League.

November 10th: After relying on a corner kick opportunity to draw 2-2 with Tottenham, TA issued an article saying that Manchester United's corner kick tactics have ushered in an evolution this season.

The article wrote that Manchester United has not had a harmonious relationship with corner kicks in recent years. Under normal circumstances, they have many problems with corner kicks, whether defensive or offensive.

Although Manchester United has made some progress in reducing corner kick concessions in the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons, it has returned to the same old pattern in the last two seasons. As the Premier League places more and more emphasis on set pieces, Manchester United has gradually fallen behind in this area, especially in corner kick attacks. However, Amorim's team are trying to change this situation in the 2025-26 season.

This season, Manchester United still has problems when defending corner kicks, but in terms of corner kick offense, they have become one of the best teams in the Premier League.

In terms of corner kick defense, Manchester United conceded 7.1 goals per 100 corner kicks, ranking fifth from the bottom in the Premier League this season. However, their corner kick offensive efficiency is very high, scoring 14.3 goals per 100 corner kicks, ranking first in the Premier League this season. Manchester United's expected goals (xG) per 100 corner kicks is 7.1, ranking second in the Premier League.

The joining of Mbemo has improved the quality of Manchester United's corner kick attack. The team has become more clear on set-piece tactics, and the players have a stronger awareness of set-piece offense and defense.

Amorim’s team mainly targets the center and the back of the six-yard area through inswinging corner kicks. B Fee is responsible for the left side and Mbemo is responsible for the right side.

Manchester United usually starts from the back point when attacking from a corner kick, with the three central defenders playing important roles. When Maguire is on the pitch, he is the main attacker, with De Ligt supporting the centre-back partner or blocking the opposition goalkeeper. Luke Shaw's job is to block the opponent's zone defenders.
