How Solskjaer Could Set Up Man Utd Next Season | Starting XI, Formation & Tactics

How Solskjaer Could Set Up Man Utd Next Season taking a look at the Starting XI, Formation & Tactics! In today’s video we’re going to be taking a look at Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s potential Manchester United lineup for the 2020/21 Premier League season whilst suggesting a couple of transfers!
► SUBSCRIBE to STATMAN DAVE: bit.ly/StatmanDaveKZbin
The 2019/20 campaign didn’t see the same tactical variety as the 2018/19 Premier League, with Solskjær favouring the 3-4-1-2 for the bigger games and the 4-2-3-1 week-to-week. So I expect this to continue with small tweaks to the current systems rather than broad changes. In goal, I think David de Gea will retain his starting spot but if he can’t improve on last season's form then Dean Henderson will be given a chance at the number 1 spot.
In terms of defence, last season’s signings of Aaron Wan-Bissaka & Harry Maguire performed excellently and massively improved United’s defensive ability. But to improve United could do with two additions. David Alaba would be perfect to compliment Maguire. His recovery pace and small stature would allow Maguire to become a stopper whilst Alaba swept up in behind, like he did for Bayern Munich on their way to their 6th Champions League. What’s more is Alaba is an excellent passer and would further improve United’s possession game, allowing the left back to operate higher up the pitch to be found by Alaba’s impressive passing. In terms of left back, despite Luke Shaw’s good form he’s struggled for fitness so competition or at least cover would be smart. Angers SCO’s Rayan Aït-Nouri is reportedly a target and I think he’d be a great addition. Not only does he compare well to United’s current crop of full backs in a defensive capacity but he outperforms most in an attacking sense. At 19, the young Frenchman would be an ideal addition to compete with Shaw for the starting spot and allow Brandon Williams to become a natural right back.
In terms of midfield, Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes break Solskjær’s 4-2-3-1, as playing one deeper massively reduces their output. I’d love to see a switch to a flat 3 which would allow greater variety in United’s build up and attack. Tying these two together could be Nemanja Matic but a long term replacement is needed. An ideal candidate is Benfica’s Florentino Luis. The Portugeuse international could be phased in as Matic is phased out, only using the Serbian when necessary to get the best out of him. Florentino Luis’ excellent decision making and ball winning ability would compliment Pogba & Fernandes’ flair, allowing the youngster to regain possession and keep the ball moving but spotting progressive passes when necessary.
And finally we have to talk about the front 3. The 2019/20 campaign was a coming of age season for Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial who enjoyed their best goalscoring seasons to date and alongside Mason Greenwood scored 62 goals in all competitions. As good as they’ve been Jadon Sancho would take it up a level. The Borussia Dortmund man would allow Rashford to return to a goalscoring role and would make a huge difference in those hard fought affairs. Allowing Greenwood to rotate in or be used alongside the starting trio if United were chasing the game.
But what do you guys think? How will Solskjær setup Manchester United in the 2020/21 season?

Yo StatmanDave can you do a “ where does Donny van de beek fit in at Manchester United “ vid Like if you agree

[@cleevcharles9399]

Ole is probably going to go with a 4-4-2 Diamond if he wants Pogba, Bruno, and Donny on the pitch at the same time

[@rushabhmehta9458]

@@cleevcharles9399 was thinking the same thing, we'd need attacking fullbacks to hold the width when we do that. And a mobile defensive midfielder

[@shahrulirwanmusa8562]

i can see that bruno will go to the right and central midfield will be Thiago, Van De Beek and Pogba. sometime bruno will play in no 10 role with pogba n thiago and in the big game bruno will switch to the right

[@hoodyfrog7036]

Mate that’s all I want to see

[@jackcordal4596]

Cleev Charles he’ll keep it the same as last season and have donny as a substitute for pogba or bruno

[@sandipsubedi9131]

The next time you see Bruno Fernandes tell him that he is Man Utd's sweet heart.

Ajebutter 22 put some respect on Ole’s name. He playing the most exciting football since Alex Ferguson.

[@ajebutter2264]

T. Respect to ole 🙂

[@thomasayling222]

Fred isn't physical enough to be a lone defensive midfielder, you have to be totally press resistant to play in a single pivot whereas Fred gets knocked off the ball too much

[@13billy]

What would you think of Camavinga instead of Florentino? He’d really excel under the tutelage of Pogba, especially with them being similar and French

[@johnnyrebel1115]

I think real have their eyes and claws on him zidane is always complementing him so I don't see us getting him

[@tactics4devils218]

I have to agree. I acc thought that Cavaminga might be a good Pogba replacement and play him with van de Beek

[@desperate_desperado]

Camavinga is a hurrier like fred not an anchor like Matic.

[@gerrysnatabraja]

I think Florentino is more of an anchor than Camavinga's box to box. Both are great potential on their respective role

[@sjewitt22]

He's not a DM is he? so with De Beek we won't get him.

[@Egbert758]

What do I think... I think u planned this vid before VDB news

[@tibodekesel6903]

Probably true, but the defensive outlet from VDB wouldn't cover Matic imo. He is good but plays higher.

[@tomkrys3331]

Bruh didn't even mention VDB

[@12gauge419]

Wav1 correct but published AFTER the signing so the comment is correct. Vid should have been pulled as it’s now out of date and makes no sense

[@LXXVIIZONE]

I don't understand how a simple valid question starts a comment war!😅

[@sagarvpawar]

Ok now I don't want start another argument on whether it was valid or not.. I just wanted Dave to see this question and probably create new video with VDB in it. I guess he will be creating another video soon on how he fits into team.

[@Adarsh_Anurag]

Please start with discussion on Alaba. He is multi-purpose and has great European experience. We need players like him for CL.

Ah! The video we have all been waiting for... Dave included.

[@TheUltrawideGuy]

Do think if Man Utd don't get Sancho this year they may switch to 4-1-2-1-2? They seem to score very few goals directly from crosses, relyling more on playing through the lines with quick passing or hitting teams on the counter. I think a 41212 with Fred as the 6, Van De Beek and Pogba as 8's and Bruno as a 10 would work. You could then play Rashford/Greenwood and Martial as twin strikers. Playing close together around the box when dominating the ball and then splitting wide to run opposite channels when having to play on the break.

[@chrishariscletus]

CMON GUYS give STATMAN A BIG PUSH, . He deserves a million subscribers 🔥✌️💯. He's THE BEST🔥🤘

[@sanniohadike8331]

I agree with you about 4,3,3

[@ihabammoury2879]

Love your videos, Statman Dave ❤ Keep up the good work 🙌

[@simonbatterham8167]

I think you're spot on about needing an attacking left-back option - it would give Rashford more opportunity to come inside and having Sancho holding width on the right would mean less attacking responsibility for Wan-Bissaka too and he could help cover Maguire (if Maguire is moved to right-sided CB)

[@advaitchandorkar5515]

Wahey hatman Dave

[@wout2361]

Dave what do you think about Solskjaer trying the diamond tactics again. With the coming of VDB (play as a Raumdeuter) and Rashford drifting wide when VDB moves to the second striker position. Matic Pogba Bruno VDB will be the new midfield with Martial & Rashford upfront. Greenwood will be moving to the super-sub position and will do damage coming from the bench...

[@JakeDriver]

I think if we can get another 2 or 3 players in next season could be really exciting for us. The wheels only really fell off when we tried to play knackered players constantly.

[@youssefbaddou7121]

Yes ! I completely agree with you OGS should use the 4-3-3 to have two free8 who can help us get the ball out from the back and also we'll be unpredictable in possession against oppositions who knows how to sit deep like newcastle or burnley.

[@MClovinHD3D]

if only statman dave could become D.O.F of man united. A man can only dream

[@noelrockz1]

Heyy Statman Dave. What are you thoughts on this: United used to build up in a 3-3-1-3, and our biggest weakness was that the full backs except Shaw struggled in the build up. So if we alter the formation having the 3 at the back (during build up) to be Alaba, Maguire and AWB (L-R), Shaw, Matic and Pogba (L-R), Bruno (no 10), Rashford, Martial and Sancho (L-R). Here, Alaba and AWB have the recovery pace to complement Maguire, Pogba can be a deep lying mezalla playmaker. While attacking down the right, Sancho keeps the width, Pogba picks up pockets of space in the right half space, Bruno comes to the right to combine, Rashford attacks the back post. While attacking down the left, Rashford holds the width, Shaw underlaps/overlaps, Bruno combines around the penalty area on the Left side, and Pogba attacks the back post by making late runs. Ait Nouri, McTominay (he would be able to do the Pogba role in my suggested system), Florentino Luis, Van De Beek, Williams, Lindelof, Greenwood can all fit into the system and make a difference off the bench (maybe sell Fred cus can’t see if he can fit in the team). United could also have a Plan B against a team much better than us (eg: Bayern) with the 5-3-2. A bit long, but, what do you think?
