He continued: “At the other end of the pitch, boss Solskjaer has a set of front players that like to play centrally, whether that’s cutting in from the wings like Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood or running from deep like Bruno Fernandes.
“It is arguably why they win so many penalties, because their attacking players are driving into the box at speed.
“So their only real width comes from the wing-backs.
“And to ensure they provide enough attacking intent without worrying about making 70-yard runs back to defend, you need three at the back.”
