Coach Erik ten Hag introduced experiments in the last match and achieved success.

Manchester United’s crisis seems to have been stopped with coach Erik ten Hag making significant changes in personnel, especially in the midfield. As soon as Mason Mount recovered, the Dutch captain immediately sent the 24-year-old rookie onto the field in the clash with Crystal Palace.

During about 45 minutes of participation, Mount could be seen comfortably performing the task of deploying the ball. He helped Man Utd’s midfield completely control the game with a successful pass rate of up to 93%, making 2 long passes at the right address, 3 passes creating great opportunities and 1 assist for Casemiro increased the score to 2-0.

In a match where Bruno Fernandes was rested to ensure his fitness, Mount seemed to have become the conductor of Man Utd’s side thanks to his ability to control the match well. This is probably the most impressive performance from the former Chelsea player since he moved to Old Trafford.

However, for Mount to be able to comfortably carry out the task of circulating the ball, it is necessary to praise coach Ten Hag for placing Sofyan Amrabat at the back to clean up and cover the English star.

This is just the first time Amrabat has started and has been assigned to play the left-back position, a role that it seems like this is the first time he has played (according to Transfermarkt).

However, Amrabat, with its abundant energy source and intelligent dispute ability, still completed the task well. Notably, when Man Utd controls the ball, this player will rotate into the midfield area to create more connection points, similar to the way Oleksandr Zinchenko operates in the Arsenal squad.

Although Amrabat does not have the ability to observe as well as the Gunners star, he still performed quite well with 92 touches and a passing accuracy rate of 96%. In addition, Amrabat also showed the advantage of playing the ball long with 5/6 accurate passes.

On the defensive side, he had 2 tackles and won 5/6 duels – something that was originally considered the Moroccan star’s strongest point.

The good combination of the trio Amrabat – Mount and Casemiro helps the Red Devils completely control the midfield. Even when facing physical midfielders on the other side, Cheick Doucoure and Jairo Riedewald, everything was no problem. They held the ball 69% compared to Crystal Palace’s 31%.

Not only that, they also contributed to goals for the Red Devils.

This successful test will likely help Erik ten Hag increase their tactical options to seek the most favorable results when returning to the Premier League arena where they will play Palace again at home this weekend.
