Manchester United vs Newcastle United: Talking Tactics
Erik ten Hag to field a 4-2-3-1 formation to play possession-based football. He will ask his men to maintain shape while defending as their backline hasn’t done well in recent games. Using pacy wingers to create threats will be another feature of the team.
On the other hand, Eddie Howe will field a traditional 4-3-3 formation. The Magpies should press high on the pitch to win the ball. They are good in transition and expect the same playing style for this game.
