As they prepare for a crucial clash against Liverpool, we are predicting Ten Hag to make significant changes to his approach, including a shift to the 4-2-3-1 formation.
The 4-2-4 Formation: A Double-Edged Sword
Ten Hag has experimented with a 4-2-4 formation this season, which showed promise during the latter stages of the previous campaign. However, its flaws have become evident, especially in United’s recent performances.
The formation’s reliance on Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount as false nines has left the team without a traditional center-forward, resulting in a lack of cutting edge in attack. This issue was painfully apparent against Brighton, where United struggled to generate meaningful opportunities, especially with Marcus Rashford out of form.
