Arsenal 1-3 Manchester United: 5 Tactics from Solskjaer that won the game | FA Cup 2018-19

#2 Counter Attack

Arsenal v Manchester United - FA Cup Fourth Round

The biggest asset of this Manchester United team is the speed and technical ability of its forward players. On a night when Solskjaer changed his front three to include Lukaku and Sanchez, it appeared that the Norwegian might make a few tweaks to his tactics to adjust his new men.

However, even though he did make a few changes here and there, the core philosophy of counter-attack remained the same. United allowed Arsenal to come at them right from the start of the game, waited for the spaces to open up and then launched one blistering counter after another.

The front players were guilty of a few misses and there were also a few indecision in between, however, three counter-attacks were enough to kill the game and secure a memorable win for United.
