Handiest Fulham, Southampton, Brentford and now Chelsea have fallen behind in opposition to United this season. Particularly, for a club in their resources, the most effective Southampton and Crystal Palace have scored fewer than United’s league desires.
The crimson Devils’ five-intention show in the midweek win against Leicester became an instance of the crew gambling with extra freedom underneath Van Nistelrooy, and they played with aptitude against Chelsea, too. However whilst United have been frequently caught out while attacking under Ten Hag, they were additionally labored and deliberate whilst gambling out from the lower back, and Van Nistelrooy changed into brief to stamp out any repeat of that in opposition to Chelsea.
The previous United striker simply needed his gamers to look ahead each time they had the ball, but one crucial failing of Ten Hag’s crew was that the players too frequently took the protection-first option of gambling the ball backward. While defender Matthijs de Ligt did just that within the first half, opting to pass again to goalkeeper André Onana as opposed to gambling it ahead to Alejandro Garnacho, Van Nistelrooy berated the Netherlands international at the touchline and advised him to pass ahead next time.
There have been other occasions whilst Van Nistelrooy pointed forward, but when a team has been struggling as United has, players have a tendency to take the easy option to reduce the chance of making a mistake. This is a difficulty that also affects this United aspect. — Ogden.
