5 tactical changes that can help Alexis Sanchez shine for Manchester United

#4 Take less time on the ball

Crystal Palace v Manchester United - Premier League

One problem with the Chilean is that he takes too much time on the ball. Solskjaer’s tactics depend on a fast movement of the ball, which helps his speedy forwards to catch the opposition off guard. The Norwegian wants his players to transfer the ball through the length of the ground as soon as possible and for this, he requires his players to take as less time on the ball as possible.

One of the big issues Sanchez has faced in recent times has been his indecision on the ball. Once the Chilean receives the ball, he has been guilty of taking some time to pick out his teammates. This is because he tries to carve out the exquisite ball on more occasions than is required and in doing so, often complicates things and loses the ball.

As an immediate change, the Chilean needs to stick to the easier options on the field around him. It could help him and his teammates significantly.
