Ten Hag's plan to beat Manchester City away**, Manchester United-style victory is expected!
Manchester United were beaten by Nottingham Forest last season, and Ten Hagel believes this was due to the lack of a consistent eleven. We need to make constant substitutions, you can't always have a full squad and we understand that football is a game that needs to be played consistently. The man said.
The Manchester United boss believes things have improved since the star came back from injury. The brief comebacks of Casemiro, Luke Shaw and Lisandro Martinez, combined with a flurry of goals from Hojlund, gave United victory in January and February, but a new wave of injuries prevented them from getting back to peak form.
Especially with Hojlund's absence, Ten Hag's attacking strategy has returned to relying on his individual singles. Since Manchester United all the scorers are"Lone wolf", with the exception of the 21-year-old Danish shooter.
In that case, United would only be left with the tactics of former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Captain Bruno Fernandes passed the ball to his team-mates and he was expecting a good pass.
Judging by United's 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest and the 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest, Ten Hagger's attacking quartet is still the same. Marcus Rashford was deployed in midfield, Garnacho and Antony operated on the flanks, with Bruno Fernandes in the middle.
Marcus Rashford didn't play as well as he should in the first two rounds, and he was mediocre for the most part, with no way to defend Murillo or Felipe from behind or break through to a long-range shot from inside the box. It was a difficult moment for the 26-year-old England hopeful, who has already been blamed by Alan Shearer for his body language and the effort he has put in.
Marcus Rashford's best position should be left winger, with wide player Luke Shaw in charge of passing the ball to him. Now, Garner Joe is the man in that position, he dares to hold the ball, he dares to rush forward, but at the age of 19"New Cristiano Ronaldo"But he seemed a little powerless, his state fluctuated, and he only succeeded in one attack. In addition, due to a lack of support, substitute Amrabat often moved around the box, leaving Garnacho alone on the pitch.
Anthony opened the scoring with a powerful shot from the right that hit the post, but he didn't come on for 70 minutes. After Amad Diallo was substituted, the home fans mocked the €100 million transfer fee by shouting "what a waste of money".
United's most typical success this season has been a solid defence and a good midfield, and they have always been able to take chances against each other. These heroes include Casemiro, McTominay, Kobe Maynor.
Ten Hagel was a coach for two years, but no matter what the outcome, he couldn't find the right tactics for the team. They won the Carabao Cup last season and finished third in the league, also building on Casemiro and Marcus Rashford.
Against Nottingham Forest on Wednesday, United barely got the ball and their defence was full of holes. If the Red Devils are to get out of the Etihad home turf and beat a Manchester City led by Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland in Sunday's Manchester derby, they will have to have a miracle or a chance.
Last season, Ten Hagel led his side to a 2-1 win over Manchester City, but many will not forget the controversial goal when Marcus Rashford equalised from 10 yards out. Without that goal, United would have lost at their own home.
Manchester United may have to repeat the same unusual performance, or a couple of important players to bounce back to beat City. "'It's not going to be easy,' Ten Hagel said after the FA Cup tie, 'especially at the back, we're in big trouble. I'm happy that Rafael [Raphael Varane] is available and Bruno [Fernandes] is over his injury. I'm very happy that he provided an assist on the pitch and that's crucial for us.
Ten Hagel has made a number of startling moves in recent weeks, defending his players at press conferences and scolding those who criticize him for being naïve. Following last week's defeat to Fulham, he has made it clear that the style of play will not change until the end of the season.
United will rely on a solid defence, as well as quick counter-attacks, and if given the chance, they will have a firm grip on the ball. There are several key players in the winning team who must seize every opportunity to attack and score the winning goal. If you don't have a perfect group performance, you can only win by the magical performance of the star players.
Goalkeeper Onana is a player Ten Hagel needs to rely on, and he will have to play at that level against Nottingham Forest. The Cameroon goalkeeper said: "We all know it's important for us, for the club and for Manchester City, so we have to be prepared because we are a family. It's not going to be easy, but we're going to cause problems for the other side. I have faith in my team-mates and we will do everything we can to win. Of course, I'm 100 percent prepared and we're all looking forward to being a part of this event, it's exciting. We're playing against the best team and we have to be well prepared.
