5 tactical tweaks that could guide Manchester United to the 2017/18 Premier League title

Surprisingly, the one who could make Manchester United competitive again

#2 Attack from the right

Two much left-sided attacking prowess

With Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford occupying the left wing on every line-up, the club has failed to replicate and spread the attack from the other side of the pitch. It's understandable due to both Martial and Rashford being right-footers who love to cut in and shoot/cross but it's also counterproductive given defences know where to remain the strongest.

9% is ridiculously low for Manchester United
...and they pay for it on the counter conceding 20% from the left.

And this is affecting Manchester United on the counter with 20% of the goals they've conceded being created from the opposition's left wing – the opposite wing of where Martial and Rashford operate on.

Should Manchester United put the opposition left-back under equal pressure, it also forces the other team to counter on the same side of the pitch making United's job a little easier dealing with counters.
