[LONG THREAD] In part 2 of our analysis of Man United’s rebuild, we identify potential transfer targets to address the issues we identified in part 1.

We recommend you go through part 1, if you haven’t done so already, before going through this thread. Before signing any player, it is crucial to evaluate how they would fit into the current tactical system. Below you can see a simple example of how MUFC position themselves with the ball.

[THREAD] The first team we will look at is Manchester United.

Today, in part 1, we will assess where Manchester United are in their rebuilding project, and where improvements are needed. Image Manchester United have come a long way since the appointment of Solskjaer. At the back, Maguire & AWB have helped create a sturdy defense.

Meanwhile, the development of Martial & Rashford, the integration of Greenwood, & the Bruno signing have revolutionized United’s frontline.

[THREAD] Assessing the impact Bruno Fernandes has had on Manchester United.

Why has the Portuguese had such an impact? Where have the Red Devils improved? Where do they go from here?

Despite a small sample of games, the early signs give an indication of what we can expect. As the numbers illustrate, stylistically not much has changed. What has dramatically improved is the team’s efficiency. #MUFC now convert more positional attacks into shots, take higher quality shots, and have become markedly better at converting their chances.

[THREAD] What’s wrong with Sarri’s Juventus?

Breaking down some of the tactical that are holding back the Old Lady. It is important to note that #Juventus are 6 points clear at the top of Serie A, on pace to record 93 points. There are definitely worse positions to be in.

With that said, they have looked underwhelming at times. With their sights set on the UCL, there is need for improvement.
