Manchester United displayed a very beautiful performance on Tuesday evening against Basaksehir and it felt like a complete different United. The passes, the touches, connection, the team work and the team chemistry seems like a different one not possessed by the Red Devils we know since the exit of sir Alex Ferguson
I visited the game house just to catch the match live since watching it with lot of folks where agreements and arguments are always flowing in the air makes it more interesting than catching it all alone by yourself. And believe me, that's where the main fun lies.
"Mere looking at this reformed formation, it's so obvious that United is going to trash Basaksehir anyhow today" said a surprised Chelsea fan after seeing the Uniteds formation. Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar made a team selection that convinced fans that the match is won even before it started.
Recall that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has recently seen a lot critics from even United fans for his manner of team selection and also for his role assignment to the players. Marcus Rashford and Antonio Martial are both known to play the left wing as their position but it's obvious that the Frenchman plays it the best as he is more dangerous and poses more treat when he's played in the left wing than his England's counterpart. But giving the role to Rashford, Ole Gunnar has been using Martial for the striking position and this has limited his performance as he performs better in the wing than the striking position.
Playing Martial at the left wing while Marcus moves into the right and also striking with Cavani shows that Ole is seeing the part that is missing and his fans have been calling his attention to. It was more surprising to see that the Midfield was handled well by Fred and Van De Beek at Old Trafford that evening as they took over the control completely. The adoption of such a team selection and formation for Man U increased it's attacking force and also improved the control in the midefield.
Hope Ole consider putting something of such into use in their next EPL match against Southampton on Sunday as they're currently the team dividing the table in to two (lol).
