Manchester United 3-2 Southampton: 5 ways how Ole Gunnar Solskjaer masterminded the comeback win

#4. Attacking tactics

The Belgian is back in form

United looked a little off the pace in the first half as they failed to convert many chances that came their way. The players looked a little tired as well and they were punished when Southampton took the lead against the run of play.

With a goal down at half time, Solskjaer knew that he had to find a breakthrough early in the second half. However, the Norwegian refrained from making any changes at half time and continued to have faith in his team. He asked his team to move the ball faster and United started the second half brighter. The injury to Alexis Sanchez was a setback, but it proved to be a boon in disguise.

With Dalot in the team, Manchester United suddenly had a fluidity in attack. The young Portuguese hit the ground running and made an immediate impact on the field. United continued to be relentless in attack and were finally rewarded with two quickfire goals from Pereira and Lukaku. The Belgian went on to score the decisive winner late in the game as the United manager's relentless desire to attack won them the game.
