Indeed, I imagine atleast one of Rash/Mart/Mhiki will be a different player this season.Except you aren't accounting for improvement from players along with regression to the norm in terms of expected goals vs. what we actually scored. I expect Martial, Rashford, Mkhi, and Pogba all to better this season to various degrees. And just looking at it statistically we should be more fortunate in front of goal than last year even if we hadn't have bought anyone.
You can't look at football as a rigid sport, it's fluid. One improvement can cause improvements throughout.
I still think the way Utd attack is a bit rigid & can be very pedestrian at times. Usually its down to a lack of bodies in the box which hopefully might increase with Matic & a lack of runs.
Pass to fullback, thinks about crossing, passes back 20 passes later fullback crosses, Mata only Utd player in box.
-rage.
In fairness Utd played some beautiful football at times in the first half of the season but were just so tumescent in the second.
