Some very interesting tactical switches from Carrick. Starting Ronaldo on the left and Martial through the middle is one of them, but it’s also a very flat three-man midfield. It’s a 4-3-3 compared to the 4-2-3-1 of the Solskjaer era.
United’s early shape would suggest Martial is down the middle, Ronaldo is on the left and Sancho is on the right. All three players are very much interchangeable to some extent, mind.
Carrick on his team selection. “Even under the circumstances, we’ve had a good few days prep for the game,” Carrick told MUTV.
“I’m in a fortunate position that we have such a good squad. There are so many options and good players to choose from. Some of the boys have played a lot of football recently and I’m in the position that I need to pick a team for tonight.
“I’m happy with the way it’s gone. There are plenty of options from off the bench.”I’m sure the boys that will come on…
Maguire has really struggled this season and he needs to regain his confidence.
He’s looked a shadow of the player that excelled at Euro 2020 and perhaps a change of manager – albeit there’s not been much change yet with Carrick – will spark some improvement.
Villarreal really tested Dalot when the two sides last met. They might not get as much joy against Wan-Bissaka.
Villarreal are 12th in La Liga and yet United are yet to make their mark. They’re beginning to slowly grow into the game, though.
