How they kept the ball, built up, progressed, created and finished, and where their attacks died.
When Man Utd has the ball, how much of that time is spent building, progressing and creating?
The share of Man Utd's time on the ball spent in each phase of play, in the order the phases happen. A phase is where the ball is on the pitch (own third, middle third, final third); a transition or a set piece skips the build-up and is counted on its own.

Man Utd
The question
Across the whole pitch, where does Man Utd actually do its on-ball work?
Passes on one map, carries (the ball travelling with a player) on the other. Each is binned into the 15 pitch zones (three thirds × five vertical lanes) and shaded by its share of that kind of action; the arrows are the real actions.

Man Utd build predominantly down the right, with Lammens as the fulcrum (29 build-up passes). Only 23% of their build-up passes actually advance a third — the rest is lateral circulation, the hallmark of a possession-controlling side that circulates patiently in midfield before progressing.

On-Ball Value — who moved the game
Every pass, carry, take-on, shot and ball win is worth the change it made to the chance of scoring minus the chance of conceding in the next 10 seconds. A forward pass into space is positive, a lost ball in a dangerous spot is negative. The chart adds the values up as the match goes on.

Man Utd
Every turnover has a location and a cause. This is a rate, not a raw count — the share of pass attempts from each zone that end in a turnover, so a zone they simply play through more often doesn't automatically look riskier. Grey cells are real zones with too few attempts to trust a rate.

Man Utd
The question
Once the opponent has the ball, how many passes and how many seconds pass before Man Utd win it back with a defensive action?
Counted over the 45 opposition possessions that Man Utd ended with a tackle, interception, recovery or challenge. Fewer passes and seconds means the ball is won quickly (a press); more means the opponent is allowed to play before Man Utd step in. Man Utd win it after 5.2 opponent passes in the first half-hour and after 2.9 after the hour mark (sooner).

Decision Quality — not all completed passes are equal
Man Utd
A 90% pass completion can hide a sideways habit. Grading every pass by the threat it adds separates value creation from safe circulation.
Excellent (high xT gain)

Progressive

Neutral / sideways
48%
Safe / backward
38%
14% of passes are progressive-or-better; the remaining 86% keep possession without advancing it. A control-first side — safe in build-up, reliant on a few players for the incision.
