How Manchester United Have Lined-up Recently
Manchester United have lined up in a 4-2-3-1 for most of the season, with goalkeeper André Onana playing all but one game.
Diogo Dalot has made the right-back berth his own, with Raphael Varane at right centre-back when available, and Willy Kambwala or Victor Lindelof deputising when not. Harry Maguire has started the last two games as a left centre-back. Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been playing at left-back since his return from injury.

Kobbie Mainoo is a mainstay in central midfield, partnered by either Casemiro or Scott McTominay depending on the Brazilian’s availability.
Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford, and Rasmus Hojlund are the manager’s preferred front four, with Antony as a rotation option.
Manchester United Recent Form and Tactics
Although Manchester United have won five of the last ten games in all competitions, there have rarely been moments where the Red Devils have seemed in control of proceedings.
With an ever-changing backline due to injuries and a chaotic playing style, Erik ten Hag’s men have conceded more shots than any other team in Europe this campaign, an indictment of the team’s inability to keep possession and dominate in games.
