Some context on Yorke/Cole win percentage being lower than expected Started tonne of the harder games including Arsenal x5 Leeds x4 Bayern x3 Chelsea x3 Liverpool x3 Inter x2 Juventus x2 Fiorentina x2 Madrid x2 Barca Spurs Lost only 9 out of 73

Dan Castle (Man Utd statto) @dancastlemufc.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

There were 3 seasons where Utd had all of Cole, Sheringham, Solskjaer & Yorke together in squad Record with the different combinations Not surprising Sheringham & Cole the worst considering they couldn’t stand each other

Dan Castle (Man Utd statto) @dancastlemufc.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Have been 15 CB combinations since SAF left, that have started at least 8 PL games together A certain little & large duo with the highest win percentage 🤔

Pretty clear that Utd have to make a blood sacrifice to win a CL Final Blomqvist started in 99 & never played for us again Hargreaves started in 08 & only managed 3 more starts in a Utd shirt Who do we choose for sacrifice in the Final next May? Maybe Ugarte & sub after 1 min
