United aren't compact enough doesn't matter what formation they play. Until they drill down the spaces between the players when defending they have far too many gaps all over between midfield and forwards and between midfielders themselves.
True that but a 4231/flat 442 is easier to defend with than a 3 man defence.

United were leaving the gaps in the 4231. I cannot remember the game I'll have to look If I mentioned it on here but it was really bad this was a couple weeks before Liverpool. Might of been the Villarreal game. You had the 2 widemen and the 2 CM's basically stretched across the whole pitch when they defended.

Bruno and Pogba were basically like 2 number 10's and McTominay of all people was the lone DM. Villarreal should've been 3 nil up at halftime. :dead:

The Wolves game in September was another one.
