Read notes on picture.

- #AVFC pressed aggressively and collectively.
- Almost successful as Matic & Pogba were dispossessed.
- 0' - 27' min #mufc were sloppy in possession.
- Fast play out from the back to by-pass press.
- #mufc misplaced many passes until Fernandes told every one to calm down.

Rashford: New Role. (Post-lock down)
- Inverted Insider forward (Midfielder)
- Drop in half space/Bruno pushes up.
- Rash creates for others with through passes or cross & more.

Read notes.

- #mufc's front 5 attacking system as previously explained. - Pinned #avfc in their own box.

- #mufc's attacking system is very fluid. Meaning:

- FBs/Inside Forwards switch positions
- CAM/ST switch
- Front 3 switch positions frequently.
- Pogba and Matic alterante.
- CAM/FB/IF triangles alternate.

The beauty all the players know when & where to fill the space.

The only switch in tactic in the system from Solskjaer was mark Jack Grealish out of the game using Matic & Scott (when he was subbed on at 66' min).

- Grealish had 0.0 xAssists and 0.08 xGoals (2 shots).
- 0 Chances Created.

Non-existent.

End. #MUFC
