Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been at left-back since returning from injury, deputising for the injured Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/04\/05\/chelsea-4-3-manchester-united-key-takeaways\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Chelsea 4-3 Manchester United: Key Takeaways As United Throw It Away<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In midfield, Kobbie Mainoo has been a mainstay, playing alongside Scott McTominay after Casemiro was ruled out with an injury in mid-March, although the Brazilian did return for Thursday night&#8217;s game at Chelsea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes, and Marcus Rashford have been most often the starters in the winger\/attacking midfield positions, although Antony replaced Rashford in the starting line-up at Stamford Bridge. Rasmus Hojlund has been a permanent fixture in front of them since his return from injury in the FA Cup win over Liverpool.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Manchester United Recent Form and Tactics<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Manchester United have been inconsistent and chaotic throughout the season, not least in Thursday&#8217;s 4-3 defeat at the hands of Mauricio Pochettino&#8217;s Chelsea. Taking a 3-2 lead into stoppage time, Erik ten Hag&#8217;s side proceeded to implode and somehow hand the hosts a victory, once again highlighting their extreme lack of ability to manage games.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Whilst the team&#8217;s best football often comes in chaotic matches in which they can play in transition, their worst moments also seem to happen in the same period, with the Chelsea debacle a perfect illustration of this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/04\/04\/manchester-united-mason-mount-transfer\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2018They Wanted To Keep Him\u2019: Erik Ten Hag Makes Revealing Admission On \u2018Top Class\u2019 Signing<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Despite being unconvincing and utterly porous since August, with a record number of shots faced since the turn of the year, the Red Devils have won nine of 14 matches in that time, leading them to an FA Cup semi-final and hanging on the coattails of Tottenham and Aston Villa in the Champions League places above them.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">225 &#8211; Manchester United have faced more shots than any other side in Europe&#39;s big-five leagues in 2024 (225).
