Modern fan won’t like it. Ingrained by the in-fashion tactical wave, view football through a Guardiola-lens. One style of play, any different is negative.
No, no, no. This is vintage Manchester United, heritage. Closer to Madrid than Barcelona, closer to Liverpool than City.

Casemiro is 'bad' because he isn’t restricted enough on the ball. Coaches allow him to do what he wants. Restrain him. Limit his build-up influence. Force him to do less and you get an incredible DM.
He's no Rodri in possession. Ask him to work off the ball and chase runners.

Bruno Fernandes is a creative anomaly, alien-like output. Output only old-Messi and De Bruyne can replicate.

André Onana has the “who is gonna carry the boats” mentality, bulletproof intangibles. An elite character joined the dressing room. Fan favorite soon.
Manchester United are assembling a Dark Horse Champions League team once Rasmus Højlund and Sofyan Amrabat are added to the mix.

This is Erik ten Hag’s idea of “best transition team in the world”.

Bruno Guimarães is creeping up on my list. The £100M release clause makes him a genuine option.

Marcus Rashford is a player you build a team around, main cog in a well-oiled machine. Construct the optimal environment to boost your deadliest threat, hide flaws. Superstar treatment.

Criteria I seek for CBs in a high-line. Martinez is safe due to the left-side dynamics, Shaw coverage + positional zone (moves to pivot).
— Raw athleticism
Natural ground power to cover channels, think of Aké, Saliba, etc.
— Mental profile
Cool temperament. Calms the defensive

On top of the already improved squad, there are still plenty of holes to fill for Erik ten Hag. So here, my Manchester United Wishlist.
CB — Ousmane Diomandé
- Full defensive package, flexible across the back-line (CB in a 2, CCB or RCB in a 3). Tall muscular frame, rapid over

Roberto de Zerbi deserves all the flowers he’s receiving at the moment. But, let’s not forget Graham Potter’s influence on this Brighton squad. De Zebri entered a very capable, well drilled, healthy environment.
The transition period was inevitably going to be short.
10

514
Exact build-up patterns I advocated for. 4-2/3-3/2-4 build-up.
Not more than two occupants on the same line results to more triangles, angles to manipulate and easier pass-solutions to progress up-field.
Solid deep-circulation with bait-press intent. Very Brighton-esque.

Shock…Mason Mount is the most similar player on the ball to Frenkie de Jong on the market, hence ten Hag’s obsession.

Diogo Dalot’s mistakes are schoolboy errors, easy to iron out with consistent game-time. Strikes me as concentration issues.

“Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard or Paul Scholes?”

Last piece into Man United’s midfield is a momentum shifter. Who deals with hectic moments on the pitch. Who can control the resets of breaks (goals/1st, 2nd half start).

Manchester United in general struggle with the basics of football, said it time and time again. It’s the simple simple stuff. Pass-to-feet, duels, work ethic, etc.

Cannot wait for Mason Mount to be introduced back into the side. For me, straight swap for Scott McTominay (incredible 70th~ wildcard).
Persist with Bruno on the left, opens more angles to explore/attack and maximizes potential of our most impactful forwards (Rashford/Garnacho).

Manchester United lack natural athleticism and raw ground power in rest-defense, translates to our transitional defense issues, Arsenal and Liverpool pre-Saliba and van Dijk environment. Problematic in high-line systems.

Short notes on Mason Greenwood:
I do not want to see Greenwood come in action again for Man United. The videos, the tapes, it is unacceptable. For a club of our stature we can not condone such inhuman behavior. Sell the man, forget the player he is/once was, best for the club.

Kobbie Mainoo is too good not to play for Man United next season. Occasional start or to act as Casemiro’s back-up, even if it means he predominantly appears in his sub-optimal position (DM).
There is too much emphasis on Mainoo’s age, brews from unfamiliarity, I guess.

Most (reasonable) people never said “Varane is bad on the ball”. It is the fact Varane lacks an efficient touch, bad reception on the turn, which invites pressure. Once he’s pressured he loses composure, makes sub-optimal pass-selections, results to him being a pressing-trigger…
14

398
Prime example to back my statement, pure CFs create own chances by movement. In the right space at the right time to redeem “tap ins”.
Most of the football population misunderstand chance creation.
Most chances are made by the CF himself. Once the pass-sender hits the right area, CF is required to eat the ground, to fruition the pass.
A chance is a pass/cross in the right area/space, not on the player.

Problem with Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s passing is simple to spot. Uses whole body in motion to pass (swings leg across body, leans too much over the ball + close to the ground), forced to adjust + redirect full stance so is unable to receive the ball immediately after pass made.
21

391
Erik ten Hag is more like Carlo Ancelotti, Julian Nagelsmann, Jürgen Klopp than Pep Guardiola, Mikel Arteta, Xavi Hernández. On the “JdP v transitional” scale ten Hag settles in between the 2 realms.
Structural traits from Diniz (Relationism) and Guardiola (Positionism). Unique.

Tyrell Malacia is a worthy asset. Nice technical foundation and possession fundamentals. Covers every blade of grass, hungry dueler, very active.

Manchester United and Erik ten Hag must go back to basics. Mid-block, space-oriented setup, 4-2 build-up.

I tried to tell you don’t focus on Kobbie Mainoo’s age. He is not comparable to players in similar age bracket, he is levels above.

Rasmus Højlund is quite similar to Romelu Lukaku. Højlund quicker + superior technical foundation, though.
I see a natural, telepathic connection between Onana and Højlund. Lukaku was often the man to hit when disabling the press, hold-up and let runners attack spaces in-behind.

I find the Casemiro/Rodri debate boring. Different profiles, excel in different in-game situations and game-states.
