Thread- exposing the myth that Ole Gunnar has no tactics and showing how he uses the system to get the best out of each player and allow them to have moments of ‘individual brilliance’ and why bruno is the focal point of our team #mufc
3 at the back - matic drops back while shaw and Awb push up to stretch and cause overloads

Stretching opp- on the right wing AWB stretches out as far as he can while greenwood becomes inverted, reasons:
AWB’s best attacking attribute is beating a man he has the most take ons for a full back itl, pushing him out wide gives him the option to beat the man and get a cross in and his crossing has improved recently
This Creates a triangle between mostly Bruno greenwood and awb and often martial/pogba get involved, this opens up the possibility of 1-2’s overlaps and breaking the line opportunities
greenwood stays inside and close to the goal as possible so he can get as many shooting opportunities as possible

On the left wing he stretches the opposition similarly except he flips it l, shaw stays inside while Rashford stays wide to again get the best out of each player:
Rashford stays out wide as opposed to awb on the wide right , Rashford is most dangerous facing goal with space in front of him so he can run at the opp, this also allows opportunities to get in the box at speed and win pens
Shaw stays inside as he’s not great at taking on players but he has a good touch and is good in tight spaces so he works better for creating triangles and overloads with Bruno Rashford and sometimes martial this again allows 1-2’s overlaps and opportunities to break the lines
Bruno- the focal point of the system as he roams to the right and left to create the overloads and triangles , Bruno works great in small spaces playing 1-2’s flicks and quick thinking breaking of the line risky passes like the nutmeg pre assist
Martial- finishing and link up play has been incredible this season , playing in this system allows him to drop in to link up the play to both wings to create chances or receive the ball in a dangerous position from space created from the overloads
Penalties- this style of play is based inside and around the edge of the box and 90% is on the ground which will = more pens l, quick 1-2’s and overlaps into the box which again will = more pens
System is also set up to allow right players to get inside the box at speed to =more
Ole puts our players in the places they are most dangerous which allows them to flourish and have moments of brilliance and it shows it’s been their best individual seasons of their careers
