The former Spurs flop outshining Manchester United duo Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard

He may have left Tottenham this season, but Georges-Kevin Nkoudou is still outperforming a couple of Manchester United players this year for one key statistic.

The 24-year-old's time in north London came to an end this summer after three years at the club, with the winger signing for Turkish side Besiktas in a deal worth around £4.6million.

He only played 27 times in all competitions for Spurs after joining from Marseille, with Nkoudou's only goal for Mauricio Pochettino's men coming in Europe in a Champions League clash with APOEL Nicosia in December 2017.

But he found his opportunities limited, with Nkoudou going out on loan to Burnley and Monaco in recent seasons.

He did, however, make one telling contribution for Spurs in January, providing the assist for Harry Winks to net a late winner in the Premier League match against Fulham.

That was despite only being on the field for four minutes, having come on as a substitute.

After that, Nkoudou played just once more for Spurs this season before leaving, with the winger coming off the bench in the 3-1 victory against Aston Villa on the opening day for a brief two-minute cameo.

As such, he has played just six minutes of Premier League football in 2019, but he still has better statistics than some players still in the Premier League.

That includes Manchester United duo Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata, who are both yet to score a goal or register an assist this season.

Neither player has registered an assist in the Premier League in 2019, despite playing a combined 1,951 minutes in this calendar year, as highlighted on social media.

Both have scored goals for United in 2019 though, with Lingard scoring in the FA Cup clash with Arsenal in January, while Mata has scored twice in 2019 for the Red Devils, with the midfielder netting against Reading in the FA Cup in January and against Chelsea in the Premier League in April.

Nkoudou also scored his first goal of the season this week for Besiktas, with the winger netting the winner against Denizlispor, adding to his one assist for the Turkish side.
