🚨 Manchester United’s data-driven approach evaluates far more than a player’s most recent season and factors in long-term projections. At just 21, Carlos Baleba is still developing, and the club remains relaxed about his trajectory, confident he can evolve into a world-class midfielder. There are strong precedents for this kind of growth curve. Elliot Anderson has made significant strides over the past 6–12 months, while Declan Rice added consistent attacking output in his final 18 months at West Ham before becoming more consistent at Arsenal. Moisés Caicedo's first year at Chelsea was inconsistent, yet he is now arguably the Premier League’s standout midfielder in his role. [@JacobsBen, @UnitedStandMUFC]
