Erik ten Hag in confident mood as Man Utd target rare European victory
ERIK TEN HAG answered some of his doubters after Manchester United came from behind to beat Brenford 2-1 last weekend.And it may also set United down a new path for the season with particular benefits to Rashford and GarnachoTen Hag opted to switch up his team selection for the game, which could be the trigger for a rebirth after a tricky start to the season.
But that is not strictly the case, and it seems Ten Hag has made a clear statement about how they can both add value to the attack in those specific roles. There is an argument to be made this is what we thought Rashford would become when he first came through at United, but he has developed into a more controlled player who likes to receive the ball in front of the opposition as opposed to constantly making runs to attack space behind the defensive line.
Garnacho is an extremely exciting player who needs space to attack when he receives the ball to be at his best. Playing from the left-side seems to give Garnacho just that.When Rashford made his breakthrough many thought the club had unearthed their next big striker and that he looked ready, technically and physically, to play as the main star for the next decade.
This movement and more central occupation of space actually saw Rashford get on the ball far more in the final third than we may have been used to seeing. He had also been averaging 1.6 chances created per game but in this match he created four, showcasing his increased involvement in the build-up than what had been seen on the left previously.
