Gary Neville has warned Ole Gunnar Solskjaer that his latest Manchester United formation will have damaging implications for two players.
Manager Solskjaer felt the need to change his tactics in the wake of the 5-0 defeat to Liverpool. United faced hefty scrutiny for their disorganisation when pressing out of possession.
As such, Solskjaer switched from his trademark 4-2-3-1 to a 3-4-1-2 for Saturday’s clash with Tottenham. Full-backs Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw became wing-backs.
Up front, meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes played behind striker duo Cristiano Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani. The change in formation worked, with Man Utd beating Spurs 3-0.
What’s more, Ronaldo scored the opener before setting up Cavani for the second. Still, £73million summer signing Jadon Sancho did not start or come off the bench.
