Yesterday, Manchester United lost to Nottingham Forest (0-1) in the 30th round of the English Premier League, and one fact about this match is astounding.

Details: The account The xG Philosophy calculated that Manchester United's center-back Harry Maguire achieved a higher xG (expected goals) in 9 minutes of this match than forward Rasmus Højlund has in his last 15 Premier League matches.

Maguire was close to saving Man United from defeat, but after his header, the home team's center-back Murillo cleared the ball off the line.

In this match, Maguire's xG was 0.60.

In 25 Premier League matches this season, Højlund has scored only 3 goals. In the summer of 2023, the "Red Devils" paid Atalanta 73 million euros for the Danish forward.

Reminder: Yesterday, Manchester United conceded first for the 23rd time this Premier League season.
