Are you Aston Villa in disguise?
Well, at least Villa leaked six goals the odd time to keep some sort of excitement around their games.
But it turns out that the Theatre of Dreams is a fitting name – because that’s where people go when they watch United at Old Trafford. To sleep.
No Premier League ground has hosted fewer goals than United’s home has this season. 18 games, 32 goals. A meek average of 1.78 goals per game.
32 – There have been fewer goals in the Premier League at Old Trafford than on any other ground in the top flight this season. Theatre.

Manchester United Premier League record at Old Trafford this season
Played: 18
Won: 11
Draw: 5
Lost: 2
For: 24
Conceded: 8
The record isn’t that bad. The entertainment is fairly minimal.
50 per cent of those games to date ended in a one-goal classic – or less. Nine of the matches finished 0-0 or 1-0.
Anthony Martial leads the way on home soil with six goals for the team whilst Rashford, Rooney, and Mata all lag behind on three.
The French man also has the most assists at Old Trafford with three.
A look at United’s underwhelming overall statistics for their individuals this season would show you that the home record is no coincidence.
It’s a philosophy.
