Erik ten Hag will be looking at ways to address Man Utd's awful away form, and a change of tactics could be on the cards.
Wth two defeats in their opening four matches already, pressure will be on Manchester United when they return to action next weekend.
United's awful away record has continued this season with defeats to Tottenham and Arsenal on the road, and things don't get any easier with a trip to face Bayern Munich later in the month.If they are to have any hopes of ever truly challenging the best sides in Europe again, then United will need to find a way to address their awful away record, something Ten Hag is sure to be mulling over right now.
There doesn't need to be any changes in front of him either, with a back-four of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw preferred when they are all fully fit. It's a blueprint that can't be ignored, but one that could be refined with a few tweaks going forward. It would be foolish to ignore the strengths of playing on the break, though there should be an ambition to strike a balance and also be as threatening when they are on top in matches too.
The added bonus of this selection is that Fernandes and Mount could both swap positions on the fly as well, adding an extra dimension, and an extra layer of depth to their options. There is hope he can transform the side when fully fit and all the other attackers are sure to benefit from playing alongside someone who has such a commanding presence in the forward line.
