• 00:30 - 01:00 are talking you know if David de Gea or Peter Schm or Wy said that then I will I will question myself But if you are one of the statistically the worst goalkeepers in Man United modern history then you know he needs to show that before he say so we will see If you look to all the quotes it's you cannot see the disrespect there Just respect but trying to give confidence and to show confident in his team
• 01:00 - 01:30 especially in in this year So everybody can talk bad things about Manchester United Sometimes um our group as a player as a coach as a staff has to to show some confidence in in our team So I think that's all and again I know really well Nema Jamati and how good guy he is So they they he hears some things by half not the whole story
• 01:30 - 02:00 Back with Nick now This one's got tastier isn't it after those comments Yeah Amarim trying to play it down there but good luck with that I mean clearly the Leon players have uh taken exception to to those comments by Inana saying um saying that they're a far better team than Leon Mati<unk> hitting back and then Anana coming back on social media didn't he pointing out that he's won a trophy at Manchester United Mati<unk> uh never won a trophy at Manchester United So um yeah explosive comments from a player who is of course really respected at Manchester United Mati<unk> seeing
• 02:00 - 02:30 his his send off here Five seasons he spent there Nearly 200 appearances for the club But um yeah no doubt that these uh this little back and forth has added some real uh edge to this game and it'll be fascinating to see the kind of reception Anana gets in in Leon tonight Yeah he won't want anything slipping through his hands will he ana in that game Um do do the stats back up the dig from Mati<unk> well we're we're going to show you some numbers now We're going to run through the numbers I mean there are some negative ones in there Um there are some positives as well um that might
• 02:30 - 03:00 surprise people at home but we'll start with uh with this This is minutes per goal conceded by Manchester United in the Premier League And you can see that Andreana has the worst record of uh of goalkeepers with a minimum of 10 appearances for Manchester United So he conceds a goal every 63 minutes on average which puts him puts him below and Lingard there who's the next worst record So not not a great number for him there Of course we've got the context of uh playing in front of a struggling
• 03:00 - 03:30 defense as well Um and here's another graphic which underlines how difficult he's found it This is lowest clean sheet percentages by Manchester United goalkeepers in the Premier League again an honor with one of the worst records Only 26% uh of his games have resulted in clean sheets Of course he's not solely responsible for that number is he there's a there's the defense to think about and and the team overall have to protect him but the numbers don't look great on that front Um we'll show you another one now which uh which shows you
• 03:30 - 04:00 his saves though So these are most saves per 90 minutes by Man United goalkeepers in the Premier League This is since 2003 2004 Andre Anana there averaging 3.4 per 90 minutes which is the most by any Manchester United goalkeeper which really shows how busy he has been Exactly Shows you perhaps he is making saves but also he is much busier uh than other Manchester United goalkeepers So he's having to do a lot more Um now in terms of shots stopping this is really interesting because actually Anana's
• 04:00 - 04:30 numbers are really really quite good So this is uh Premier League goalkeepers since the start of last season when Anana arrived at Manchester United Uh and this is expected goals prevented which basically shows uh it kind of measures the goals a goalkeeper has conceded versus their expected total you know based on the quality of shots they've faced And what you see here we've got the three best and the three worst records in that time frame And you see Andre Anana is right up there Only Jordan Pigford with a better number here 7.45 four five expected goals prevented
• 04:30 - 05:00 from Anana Vika up there as well which which might surprise people too given he's had his struggles as well Um but yeah Anana with a really good number there So that that does show you that he does have that shots stopping quality This is what he needs to send to the WhatsApp of Matic isn't it just listen He's watching the hotel this morning Andre get a picture of that He should get this clipped up shouldn't he um but yeah he's uh so he does have that ability you know in terms of shots stopping but of course he does uh have errors in his game as well which we've seen at Manchester United So there are
• 05:00 - 05:30 two sides to him really Um but still interesting to to look at those stats and and see how he compares Yeah Um look talking to Paul Merson earlier he says it's probably it's a bigger night in the Europa League for for Tottenham than it is for Manchester United But Manchester United they've got to go for this Look where they are in the Premier League table down in in 13th position We we've seen Ruben Amar and what he can do in Europe with that impressive sporting team dismantled uh Manchester City earlier this season and his record in in the Europa League compared to the Premier League is is chalk and cheese isn't it they got to go for it They have
• 05:30 - 06:00 to go for it Yeah 13th in the Premier League It's been a really really difficult season Of course this is the this is the last uh last target in terms of silverware and and uh one that they will be desperate to to to go for Yeah it's a huge game No doubt about that As you say Amarim does have some some pedigree in Europe doesn't he and and Manchester United were impressive in the last round That 4-1 win over Real Sashidadabad was a really really good performance and it's one they will be hoping to reproduce in this tie It's been a tricky season for the Manchester United fans though Should they be
• 06:00 - 06:30 feeling a little bit more confident tonight ahead of this first leg Nick i think they do have reasons to be confident Yeah I mean their record in first legs in European competition uh is good You know the in recent years So here we have it This is their last 11 European knockout first leg results So five wins and six draws They haven't lost any uh of these games So that gives them some encouragement there Um and and a little bit of hope for them to to take forward into this game As well as that performance against Real Sociad as well
• 06:30 - 07:00 of course And look Bruno Fernandez the Manchester United captain we'll be thinking he should be playing in the Champions League obviously with with his pedigree and his his role in that Portugal team but he has a really good record doesn't he in the Europa League he does as you say he he's he's someone who would desperately want to be in the Champions League He is a Champions League player really isn't he in terms of his level no doubt about that But he makes a tremendous impact in the Europa League Hat-trick against Rail Sashiad of course in the last game and that takes his total of goal involvements in the Europa League to 44 which is the most by
• 07:00 - 07:30 any player as you can see He's ahead of Dre Mertton ahead of Edeno ahead of Pierre Emerick Aubameyang as well So really impressive number and just a reminder of how key he is for this Manchester United side There's all sorts of stuff going on at Lyon which we haven't even got time to get into behind the scenes there Club's in a bit of a mess financially Um but on the pitch particularly in the Europe Europa League how did Lyon compare to to Manchester United in that competition this season well their records are are pretty similar in the competition uh this year as you can see from from this graphic
• 07:30 - 08:00 here So Manchester United actually unbeaten in the Europa League so far Six wins four draws Leon have been beaten once but it's six wins three draws So very similar Uh in terms of goals scored Leon just ahead of them 23-2 And they come out on top defensively as well in terms of goals conceded Leon only seven conceded so far to Manchester United's 11 So not a huge amount between them in the Europa League so far Looks like a good tie one for everyone to look forward to Yeah And we've talked about Nemanatic<unk> but
• 08:00 - 08:30 any other familiar faces in that that Leyon setup yes a few who will be familiar to to Premier League fans Definitely Musa Kate from Nottingham Forest of course Duier Kalleta Sar I think I pronounced that right the former Southampton player and then uh two uh two Arsenal players as well two former Arsenal players Anley Mcniles and Alexander Lacazette So yeah a lot of familiar faces in the team and a lot of players who will probably be keen to prove a point in front of a lot of uh Premier League fans and Premier League viewers
