#902 | Ed, Dharnish and Daniel pull apart United's performance against Arsenal. The shape out of possession looked cleaner, United broke the first press often enough, but box occupation and decision making let them down. United's build-up worked far better, yet the final action and consistent presence in the area still lagged behind the approach play. Much better overall. What's inside Pressing shape – where it worked, where it fell apart, and how the front line triggered the press. Breaking the press – patterns that beat Arsenal's first line and why United needed more third-man runs. Box presence – too few bodies attacking space, poor timing on cut-backs, and wasteful shot selection. Midfield roles – Cunha between lines, Mount as connector, and the knock-on effects for the rest defence. Wide areas and full backs – when the overlap helped, when it clogged lanes, and how to create better threats. Buildup problems – clean exits from the first phase that fizzled before the final pass. Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:40 Baiting the Press 13:03 How the system hel up 15:44 Season expectations and on-pitch IQ 17:35 Build-up bottlenecks 18:36 Full backs and box occupation 18:58 Midfield dynamics and roles 22:55 Bruno Fernandes' positioning 26:29 Development priorities for key players 29:16 Final thoughts Takeaway Progress in structure, not yet in punch. United can reach good zones against strong pressure. The next step is simple to say and hard to do – arrive in the box with numbers, improve the last touch, and turn control into goals.
