Manchester United vs Leicester City: 5 Hits and Flops

Old
Old Trafford was buzzing for the season-opening match

2. Flop: Daniel Amartey

A
Amartey needs to improve his decision-making

Amartey started as the right back but rarely provided any decent attacking outlet through that flank. He was dire and inconsistent with the ball, often making the wrong decision on the other half despite having overlapped well.

His crossing was poor, and Amartey largely focused on maintaining the possession of the ball. Defensively, he had little to do as he tackled and intercepted once, whilst putting in one key pass in the game.

His poor offensive contribution meant that Leicester had to attack through the centre or from the left flank, as they hardly spread the play and gradually their attacking pattern became more predictable.

Amartey had some chances to get behind Luke Shaw to send in some lobbed crosses into the box, but he refrained from doing so and rather passed it backward from a promising position on the other half.
