Pivoting from Kane to Havertz - rather than Hojlund - would’ve made more sense…

Then they spend similar £ on Mount, despite it being very difficult for him & Bruno to start in the same XI.

Squad building always comes back to the Manager.

Man Utd losing most of their duels.

Especially in midfield.

Old fashioned 4-3-3 causes these 5-2-3 shapes problems

A deep-ish back 4 that drags the opposition wing backs out (and 4v3 against their FWDs)

3v2 in midfield with the 8s wide creating space between their 2 DMs

Front 3 wide & pinning their defence back. Plus 1 can drop

Olise could’ve even carried it another 10 yards 🙃

Evolution (tactical/player) is key when managing in the top flight

Arteta could’ve been happy w/ last season but he strengthened & slightly changed their tactical approach. Pep does this often

You can see with Ange & RDZ (although injuries) the surprise element soon wears off

Managed one of my favourite sides to watch.

Some proper players in that team.
