#2 Manchester United likely to keep more possession
Chelsea’s weakness could be United’s strength. United have a very good midfield triumvirate of Paul Pogba, Ander Herrera and Nemanja Matic. All three are good passers and have the ability to dictate terms in the midfield.
Therefore, United should try to build moves slowly and play more passes in the midfield. It could be an antidote to Chelsea’s direct play.
Both Pogba and Herrera were brilliant in the semifinal match against Tottenham. Pogba’s perfect cross led to the first goal and Herrera scored another fine goal with a scorching shot from outside the box.
They would again look forward to dominate the midfield battle against Chelsea, play some crucial through balls and take more shots at the Chelsea goal.
