5 changes Mourinho must make in the game against Real Madrid for United to succeed

#4 Keep Sanchez higher up on the pitch

Sanchez has looked good in Pre-season, but needs assistance from Mourinho to flourish

In absence of a proper striker, Mourinho has been using Sanchez as a number nine, and the Chilean has adapted his game well. But against, Liverpool, Mourinho asked Sanchez to track back and help out in the midfield. This allowed the Liverpool defense to play without pressure and also left Sanchez with a lot of ground to cover while attacking.

This has to change in the next game. Sanchez has to stay where he can receive the ball and run at the defense with the goal in sight. This will cause the opposition to be wary of his position and also provide a target for United’s creative players like Andreas Pereira to have a target to aim their balls to, making their counter attacks more efficient.

Sanchez should be in a position where he can influence the game and he can then bring players into the game and cause the opposition defense all kinds of trouble. Having Sanchez play so deep is a misuse of his attacking talents and Mourinho must rectify this immediately.
