With Ten Hag on the bench, the current Manchester United plays in attack with a clear 4-3-3 that turns into a 4-1-4-1 with Casemiro as a pivot in front of the center-backs when he does not have the ball. The English team likes to use its two full-backs a lot, Dalot and Shaw, and I highlight central defender Lisandro Martínez in the axis of defense, where he has become essential in the left-handed profile.
It is great news for football that it has recovered Eriksenwho acts as organizer together with one of the best soccer players in Europe, the Portuguese Bruno Fernandesendowed with a great shot and a magnificent vision of the game.
United are very powerful in attack, not because they have Cristiano, who obviously no longer has the power of yesteryear, but because of the overflow of Jadon Sancho and Anthony Elanga. without forgetting about Rashford, very dangerous if you have a good day given your speed. All this is accompanied by the goal of Christianwho may not be the undisputed starter, but is always dangerous.
United’s big problem this season is the ease with which they are conceding goals. The City endorsed him six. It is a team that if it does not fall back well, suffers a lot at the back. On the contrary, his offensive punch is enormous. They make transitions at breakneck speed and do not usually fail if they are in front of the rival goalkeeper.
Another factor to take into account is the aerial game with corner kicks and crosses from the wings. In his favor, another aspect: the return leg is at Old Trafford and that is something to take into account because we already know how English teams spend their time.
