United setup with the expected 1-4-2-2-2 formation. Telles and Dalot at full back. Fred and McTominay both holding. Bruno and Sancho playing in-between. Rashford and Ronaldo the front two.
In possession both Fred and McTominay both providing the security to central areas, throughout the game both Telles and Dalot joined in attacks while these two both created a box defence.
Out of possession and pressing, Ronaldo and Rashford most advanced forcing ball wide where Bruno and Sancho were both ready to go and provide pressure. Once ball was played one side, the other tucked in to reduce spaces.
If the opposition did switch the ball successfully, McTominay and Fred were able to cover the ground by advancing up the field and due to the pressure caused by Ronaldo they were able to force a mistake and win possession back in this phase.
Another example of the security offered. Sancho/Bruno were able to come inside and use the space that was already created by their starting positions out wide, this then allowed the FB's the chance to advance when the team had good possession of the ball.
