Manchester United: What we can expect from the Red Devils when the season starts

#1 Building from the back

David de Gea

You can expect a lot of Manchester United plays next season to be built from the back. That’s how the manager wants them to play and it’s evident from the manager has been setting up his team in the three games they’ve played.

The central defenders are being encouraged to step into the midfield and even the keepers are trying to pass it from the back. David de Gea who is United’s undoubted number one choice goalkeeper and seemingly looking likely to stay will have to brush up his passing game.

When Sir Alex was recruiting him from Atletico, he talked up how de Gea was Van der Sar’s perfect replacements sighting his passing to be similar to that of the Dutch legend. Of late, that’s one aspect of his game that has been found wanting and he needs to build on it for the coming season.

If the star goalie can get his passing up to the high standards they were, United will build fluidly from the back in devastating fashion next season.
