Manchester United 2019/20 Tactics Explained. Man United have been impressive in a new look system in preseason. Solskjaer setup his side in a 4-2-3-1 against Perth Glory, Leeds United, Inter Milan, Tottenham Hotspur and Kristiansund.

Starting with attacking shape. Over the years, Manchester United have always been known for attacking with width, stretching play in the final third and allowing their wingers to dribble at their defence. Ole played under Sir Alex Ferguson who encapsulated the Manchester United philosophy of playing fast, attacking football with wingers on each flank.

The number 10 role could be occupied by possible new arrivals Paulo Dybala or Bruno Fernandes – both players have experience playing in that role. Dybala played some of his best games with Paul Pogba in the same side, although he was a second striker in that Juventus side – The Argentine star dropped into deeper positions to create. Like in preseason Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could also use Juan Mata, Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Angel Gomes. If Man Utd are to sign both Paulo Dybala and Bruno Fernandes we could see a 4-3-3 with Dybala as a false-nine, this would allow Solskjaer to play Fernandes & Pogba as free eights in central midfield.

Moving on to the defensive set up, United press in a 4-2-3-1 shape. You could describe it as a Man to man form of gegenpressing with a focus on winning the ball back to attack rather than recycle possession, more like Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool than Pep Guardiola’s Man City. The addition of Aaron Wan-Bissaka and possible signing of Harry Maguire, would give licence for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to use the 4-2-3-1 with someone like Paul Pogba from deep and Scott Mctominay being the defensive head of the double pivot for the Red devils.

In high school we played a 4-5-1. You dominate the midfield with three center mids in a triangle.
