What they are for
Roles
penalties, set pieces, crossing, partnerships- PenaltiesTakes them: 3 of 4 Manchester United were awarded.
- Corners and set piecesSupplies 28% of Manchester United’s dead-ball danger, from 36 deliveries that became shots.
- When it mattered7 of 8 goals came with the game level or Manchester United behind.
- On the pitch89% of the minutes available to them.
Partnerships
- Feeds Alejandro Garnacho19 shots, 3.06 xG

- Feeds Harry Maguire9 shots, 1.02 xG
- Fed by Casemiro6 shots, 1.19 xG
A share of the attack says how much runs through Bruno Fernandes. These say what would have to be replaced. Losing the penalty taker or the corner deliverer is not the same as losing a proportional slice of output, and a partnership cuts both ways: the supplier being absent damages the finisher’s numbers too.

Season record
Involvement in build-up
excludes their own shots and final passesBruno Fernandes carries 12.9% of Manchester United’s build-up value.
- Build-up per 900.40595% of forwards
- Possession value per 900.71974% of forwards
Ranked against 104 forwards with a comparable sample. Build-up is the value of possessions a player was involved in with their own shots and final passes removed, so it credits the work before the chance. It is a possession-value measure rather than a passing one: it cannot tell a forty-yard carry from two sideways balls, because no pass or carry record exists in this data.
