Tactical Analysis: Defending as a team suits United
You don’t need me to tell you that a major talking point during the Ruben Amorim era was United’s back three formation. It was always obvious that the back three system didn’t quite suit United. While the team was struggling with the system, those who wanted to defend Amorim would often point out that the […]

The Case for and Against Michael Carrick
The task for interim manager Michael Carrick is straightforward: qualify for the Champions League.
