Manchester United have slowly but steadily improved their overall style of play under Erik ten Hag.
Despite struggling to score goals, the Red Devils have created plenty of chances and deserve to have a few more goals to their name.
It is one of the main reasons why United are on the hunt for a striker in this January transfer window.
According to Opta, Bruno Fernandes has the most offensive participation in the team (99) followed by Marcus Rashford (74) and Christian Eriksen (71).

The trio have been regular starters for Ten Hag and it’s no surprise how influential they have been on United’s attacking game.
Bruno is known for his daring attempts at near-impossible passes, but he has improved his game under the new coach.
He gets frustrated at times, losing possession of the ball in dangerous areas, but makes up for it with some wonderful plays up front.
Ten Hag is said to be an admirer of the Portuguese midfielder’s work rate and pressure.
Allow Eriksen to dictate the game at a slower pace.
Bruno still has aspects of his game that need to be improved, but it’s clear that he’s totally on board with Ten Hag’s philosophy.
The 28-year-old will be an important player for United in the second half of the season.
He has the unique ability to turn the game upside down and will come in handy during knockout tournaments.
