Resolution criteria

• Resolve YES if, at the end of the 2025–26 Premier League season (final round scheduled for Sunday 24 May 2026), Manchester United’s total Premier League goals (GF) are strictly less than the Golden Boot winner’s combined Premier League goals + assists (G+A). Otherwise NO. (premierleague.com)

• Sources to use:

  • Man United team goals: “GF” on a reputable live table (e.g., BBC Premier League table: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/premier-league/table). (bbc.com)

  • Golden Boot winner: Premier League’s official Golden Boot page/news. Example hub: https://www.premierleague.com/news/1206108. (premierleague.com)

  • Player G+A: the winner’s Premier League goals and assists totals for 2025–26 from FBref’s season stats page: https://fbref.com/en/comps/9/2025-2026/stats/2025-2026-Premier-League-Stats (sum Gls + Ast). (fbref.com)

• Timing: Use figures as displayed at 12:00 UTC on the day after the final match round (25 May 2026). Later statistical reclassifications are ignored for resolution.

• Edge cases:

  • Joint Golden Boot: compare Man United’s GF to the maximum G+A among the joint winners.

  • Only Premier League matches count (all goals, including penalties; assists as credited by the Premier League). Team GF includes own goals by definition of the table source.

  • If the Premier League does not award a Golden Boot or does not publish a final table for 2025–26, resolve N/A.

Background

• The 2025–26 Premier League season runs mid-August 2025 to 24 May 2026. (premierleague.com)

• “Golden Boot” = top goalscorer in the Premier League; the award can be shared if tied. (premierleague.com)

• For context, last season’s (2024–25) winner Mohamed Salah finished with 29 goals and 18 assists (47 G+A). (premierleague.com)

Considerations

• Assists are an official but occasionally reclassified stat; the fixed snapshot time above avoids post-season revisions. (premierleague.com)

• The chosen sources are public, stable, and easy to check; if one is unreachable, any equivalent reputable source showing the same figures may be used for verification.
