Last week in the League Cup

Manchester United Football Club

Crystal Palace, this time they looked very careful and were on the defensive after the game.

Manchester United Football Club

Amrabat played at left back, but as the game started to move into the back, Mount was better able to move up and join the attack with Amrabat, who was better at tracking, and even Lindelof pressed forward to help distribute the ball in the first part of the first half.

Manchester United Football Club

Allowed both Rashford and Højlund good chances in the first 20 minutes

However, Crystal Palace scored first in the 24th minute when Eze drove to the center of the field with a free kick from the right side, the ball was fast and Højlund tried to clear the ball with his head in the center of the field, but due to the high speed he couldn't hit the ball correctly, causing the ball to go to the far side of the field, Andersen at the far side of the field directly without stopping the ball with his left foot, which was a very fast shot to break through the goal.

It's too late to react.

Crystal Palace defends solidly after taking the lead as it's still early.

Manchester United Football Club

There was no rush to attack, and it was clear to see that Amrabat was effective on the pitch, with a great range of defense and good timing in tracking back. Casemiro stayed at the back to assist, along with Varane at the back of the midfield, and in the absence of Crystal Palace's full-on attacking press, these three were in the thick of the action.

The backfield defense is doing a great job.

Manchester United Football Club

With Amrabat at the back, Dalot and Lindelof pressed the ball forward, and late in the first half, Casemiro went forward when the defense was safe, so it can be said that there was always pressure on Crystal Palace to keep them from attacking.

Manchester United Football Club

The linebacking corps, including Amrabat, doesn't possess particularly good distribution and organizational skills, so the

Manchester United Football Club

The ball from the back of the field is actually not enough to kill, I feel that it is also a bit too early to the side, both sides of the wingers have early to receive the ball and be guarded, in order to be able to do a good job of the ball, it is necessary to rely on the back of the group of a few people directly through the center of the area with a pass boldly, and pushed into the opponent's position within 30 yards so that the midfield and the front field to have the time to make all kinds of runs and start a change of the offensive.

The linebackers don't have it yet.

At the start of the second half.

Manchester United Football Club

Casemiro started to press forward, and Casemiro also went forward at the beginning, he stood behind Bee in the center of the field, allowing Bee to run freely and move from side to side, and Bee, who has been playing very well lately, started to create offense, as well as a header to Højlund from a corner kick, which went straight to Højlund, and was headed home in the 60th minute.

Manchester United Football Club

Substitute Pellistri for Garnacho to bolster the offense.

Garnacho came on to the left wing, Rashford switched to the right wing, Garnacho still kept his good performance, he started to attack Crystal Palace defense strongly on the left wing, Ward couldn't block him completely, and Carnacho was not only fast, but also had a characteristic of passing fast, which was hard for Crystal Palace to judge the timing of his pass. It was difficult for Crystal Palace to judge the timing of his passes, so he made several passes to the bottom line or even inside the penalty area, creating a dangerous situation in front of the Crystal Palace goal.

Manchester United Football Club

Substituting Mount and Rashford for Eriksen and Martial in the 77th minute, Mount actually played pretty well, especially after Garnacho came on.

Manchester United Football Club

This left channel is attacking well, Mount doesn't have to continue to pass the ball through the center of the field to push it forward or even into the box, although he hasn't had a threatening shot, he has had several good chances to receive the ball in the box, Mount has improved from his previous performances where he kept disappearing for the whole game.
