Angelo Stiller would be a brilliant signing for Man United in their biggest area of need.
The team's been lacking a deep-lying midfielder who can progress the ball like this since Michael Carrick slowed down... so basically for a decade.

Tyrique George in the Conference League last year.
Tiny sample against some questionable competition, but easy to see why Maresca likes him.

Piero Hincapie, Bayer Leverkusen 24-25 and 23-24.
Is he good? Probably.
Is he aggressive? Fuck yes, he is.
Is that good? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
CBs are tough to profile purely from stats because they are all required to do different things!

Chris Wood has 2 goals from 0.9 xG today. This is his shot chart from last year. Perhaps xG is fake for one man only:

Joao Pedro has now scored 5 times in 5 games for Chelsea between friendlies and the Club World Cup.
While we were skeptical of Joao Pedro turning into a great goal-scorer, here's why Chelsea had reason to believe he could be a great player for them:

Leeds might have the best chance of the group of staying up if they can finalize the signing of midfielder Anton Stach, who was a superb ball-winner for Hoffenheim last season.
It'll be a key position as they go from dominant attackers to more balanced games.

Burnley are after striker Andrea Pinamonti, who's scored double digit goals the last two seasons in Serie A.
His shot volume hasn't been the best, but he's been on struggling teams, and out-performed his xG two years in a row.

Sunderland would love to add veteran Granit Xhaka to their midfield. If you haven't seen him since he left the Premier League and you're wondering if he's still got it: Yes he does.
Xhaka might not have the legs to contribute defensively, but he's an outstanding passer.

Lyon has been relegated to Ligue 2 due to financial mismanagement, and will need to make some money fast to have any chance to win their appeal.
Here's who the vultures will be circling around:

Bayern Munich have been linked to Bradley Barcola, and he'd be a great signing. But here's a question: Why isn't there a huge bidding war for this guy?

Michael Olise assisted the opener for Bayern Munich tonight, and he's been one of the best players in the Champions League this season since arriving from Crystal Palace.

Shooting is arguably only Ovalle's 3rd best quality. What a player.

Anyway, here's how good of a finisher Ovalle is. 23 non-penalty goals from 8.33 npxG. SHEESH.

Stiller was linked to some huge clubs this January, and it's easy to see why... and why Stuttgart wasn't willing to negotiate mid-season.

It's extremely rare to see a 22-year-old who brings the combination of passing, shooting, and dribbling skills that Musiala has.
He's avoiding bad shots, getting a ton at the top of the 6-yard box, and finishing way above his xG too. Just a special attacking player.
