Cardiff City 1-5 Manchester United: 5 Talking Points and Tactical Analysis | Premier League 2018-19

#2 Manchester United start strong, Marcus Rashford scores a beauty

Simply clinical from Rashford

After the Red Devils settled into their respective positions, the match was played at a frenetic pace, as far as their tactics were concerned. The back four was much higher up the pitch, Jones even crossed the halfway line to make an interception - something we almost never saw under Jose - and United looked very bright.

On the back of their quick passing, direct exhibition in front of goal and incisive play, they won a foul about 32-35 yards away from goal. Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford stood over it.

The latter took charge of the dead ball and with the perfect technique, slotted it past the wall and sent Etheridge the wrong way.
