After a dominant win in the champions league on Wednesday against RB Leipzig at Old Trafford, Manchester United return to play Arsenal in the premier league on Sunday.
However, United fans all have a similar demand for their manager, which is to stick with the diamond midfield formation that worked so well against Leipzig.https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-1883810847636355&output=html&h=250&slotname=4256911181&adk=251046487&adf=3454182382&pi=t.ma~as.4256911181&w=300&fwrn=7&lmt=1604053551&psa=1&guci=2.2.0.0.2.2.0.0&format=300×250&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn-af.feednews.com%2Fnews%2Fdetail%2F5688e40f531f30cbd521d36f6f4cd195-ng-en%3Ffeatures%3D2114057%26client%3Dmini%26uid%3D7ace0e80f8cd8f480cfbc69fbb0f772010208822%26like_count%3D0&flash=0&wgl=1&tt_state=W3siaXNzdWVyT3JpZ2luIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9hZHNlcnZpY2UuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbSIsInN0YXRlIjowfSx7Imlzc3Vlck9yaWdpbiI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXR0ZXN0YXRpb24uYW5kcm9pZC5jb20iLCJzdGF0ZSI6MH1d&dt=1604053548448&bpp=75&bdt=4691&idt=2967&shv=r20201027&cbv=r20190131&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3D6286ac54c5394acb-225f2cf64da60053%3AT%3D1603260752%3ART%3D1603260752%3AS%3DALNI_Mba1wk0Pnk11o_DVZPf40oeOJAk8g&prev_fmts=0x0&nras=1&correlator=1732052511718&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=1107119749.1604053551&ga_sid=1604053551&ga_hid=1223164545&ga_fc=0&iag=0&icsg=565951&dssz=12&mdo=0&mso=0&u_tz=60&u_his=2&u_java=0&u_h=640&u_w=360&u_ah=640&u_aw=360&u_cd=32&u_nplug=0&u_nmime=0&adx=30&ady=450&biw=360&bih=568&scr_x=0&scr_y=970&eid=21068084%2C21066973&oid=3&pvsid=2357609317232576&pem=868&rx=0&eae=0&fc=1920&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C360%2C0%2C360%2C568%2C360%2C568&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7CoeE%7C&abl=CS&pfx=0&fu=8192&bc=29&ifi=1&uci=a!1&xpc=y1PvX9XMmC&p=https%3A//cdn-af.feednews.com&dtd=3164

United played four central midfielders in a diamond formation instead of their usual three which included Donny Van De Beek, Paul Pogba, Fred and Matic in the first half and it produced a goal in the first half through a pass from Pogba to Greenwood who converted it to goal.https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-1883810847636355&output=html&h=250&slotname=5028900945&adk=206899950&adf=4224959137&pi=t.ma~as.5028900945&w=300&fwrn=7&lmt=1604053551&psa=1&guci=2.2.0.0.2.2.0.0&format=300×250&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn-af.feednews.com%2Fnews%2Fdetail%2F5688e40f531f30cbd521d36f6f4cd195-ng-en%3Ffeatures%3D2114057%26client%3Dmini%26uid%3D7ace0e80f8cd8f480cfbc69fbb0f772010208822%26like_count%3D0&flash=0&wgl=1&tt_state=W3siaXNzdWVyT3JpZ2luIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9hZHNlcnZpY2UuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbSIsInN0YXRlIjowfSx7Imlzc3Vlck9yaWdpbiI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXR0ZXN0YXRpb24uYW5kcm9pZC5jb20iLCJzdGF0ZSI6MH1d&dt=1604053548527&bpp=17&bdt=4770&idt=3273&shv=r20201027&cbv=r20190131&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3D6286ac54c5394acb-225f2cf64da60053%3AT%3D1603260752%3ART%3D1603260752%3AS%3DALNI_Mba1wk0Pnk11o_DVZPf40oeOJAk8g&prev_fmts=0x0%2C300x250&nras=1&correlator=1732052511718&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=1107119749.1604053551&ga_sid=1604053551&ga_hid=1223164545&ga_fc=0&iag=0&icsg=565951&dssz=12&mdo=0&mso=0&u_tz=60&u_his=2&u_java=0&u_h=640&u_w=360&u_ah=640&u_aw=360&u_cd=32&u_nplug=0&u_nmime=0&adx=30&ady=1198&biw=360&bih=568&scr_x=0&scr_y=970&eid=21068084%2C21066973&oid=3&pvsid=2357609317232576&pem=868&rx=0&eae=0&fc=1920&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C360%2C0%2C360%2C568%2C360%2C568&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7CoeE%7C&abl=CS&pfx=0&fu=8192&bc=29&ifi=2&uci=a!2&xpc=PFdz6Q6vbr&p=https%3A//cdn-af.feednews.com&dtd=3306
Van de Beek was used as head of the diamond, Matic was at the base while Pogba and Fred were in the middle. With this, United were able to contain the high pressing Leipzig side.
Against Arsenal, Solskjaer might use the same formation with the introduction of either Mata, Fernandes or McTominay since Arsenal likes playing wide just like Leipzig.https://res-odx.op-mobile.opera.com/pagead?w=0&h=0&pk=s3480327769472&ct=&uc=true&cc=US&lc=en&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn-af.feednews.com%2Fnews%2Fdetail%2F5688e40f531f30cbd521d36f6f4cd195-ng-en%3Ffeatures%3D2114057%26client%3Dmini%26uid%3D7ace0e80f8cd8f480cfbc69fbb0f772010208822%26like_count%3D0&rf=&cst=UTF-8&title=TWFuY2hlc3RlciBVbml0ZWQgRmFucyBDaG9vc2UgTWlkZmllbGQgRm9ybWF0aW9uIFRoZXkgV2FudCBUbyBTZWUgQWdhaW5zdCBBcnNlbmFsIEF0IE9sZCBUcmFmZm9yZC4gLSBPcGVyYSBOZXdzIE9mZmljaWFs&vr=cdn-af.feednews.com&bl=en-US&sh=640&sw=360&sch=1871&scw=360&scl=0&sct=0&tz=GMT%2B0100&vph=568&vpw=360&debug=false
If this formation is deployed, it will allow Marcus Rashford more room to roam centrally and cause Arsenal problems as he did against RB Leipzig.
When MEN Sport asked United fans the kind of formation they want to be deployed against the Mikel Arteta side at Old Trafford, most of them opted for the diamond formation.https://res-odx.op-mobile.opera.com/pagead?w=0&h=0&pk=s3349331957248&ct=&uc=true&cc=US&lc=en&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn-af.feednews.com%2Fnews%2Fdetail%2F5688e40f531f30cbd521d36f6f4cd195-ng-en%3Ffeatures%3D2114057%26client%3Dmini%26uid%3D7ace0e80f8cd8f480cfbc69fbb0f772010208822%26like_count%3D0&rf=&cst=UTF-8&title=TWFuY2hlc3RlciBVbml0ZWQgRmFucyBDaG9vc2UgTWlkZmllbGQgRm9ybWF0aW9uIFRoZXkgV2FudCBUbyBTZWUgQWdhaW5zdCBBcnNlbmFsIEF0IE9sZCBUcmFmZm9yZC4gLSBPcGVyYSBOZXdzIE9mZmljaWFs&vr=cdn-af.feednews.com&bl=en-US&sh=640&sw=360&sch=1871&scw=360&scl=0&sct=0&tz=GMT%2B0100&vph=568&vpw=360&debug=false
Out of the 3360 respondents sampled, 63.9 percent wanted to see more of a diamond played in a 4-1-2-1-2 formation.
Next was the 4-2-3-1 with 21.8 percent. This formation has been used by United severally this season.

Others opted for the more rigid 4-3-3 formation while some went for the traditional 4-4-2 formation. ManchesterEvening News
The decision however rests with Solskjaer to determine which formation to play against The Gunners on Sunday at Old Trafford.

VIDEO LOADINGMANCHESTER UNITED WRITERS ON WHAT TO EXPECT FROM SIGNINGS AMED DIALLO AND FACUNDO PELLISTRI
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that summer signing Facundo Pellistri will play his first game in a United shirt for the Under-23s tonight (Friday).
Pellistri, Brandon Williams and Marcos Rojo are all set to feature for Neil Wood’s side as they take on Everton at Leigh Sports Village from 7pm.
The trio are likely to be joined by Ethan Galbraith and Teden Mengi, after Unitedmade a number of players available for Under-23 action. Due to covid-19 restrictions, United have to keep their training groups separate, which kept Mengi out of action for games earlier this season.
But Solskjaer gave an update on how he’s moved players between squads and a hint over tonight’s team news.
“It is a different bubble so, with the current regulations, they can’t go on the same coach, they can’t be in the same dressing room, with all the testing and things,” Solskjaer toldMUTV.
“That’s complicated things a little bit but, then again, if we take precautions and they travel by themselves and if they’re not in the dressing room or in the meeting, which isn’t great for a coach not to have his whole team.
“But tonight we’ll have a few [playing]. Facundo will play tonight to get his first taste of English football, Marcos Rojo will play because he needs to build up his fitness and Brandon’s going to play. He needs minutes as well.
“He’s a played a little bit this season and for the Under-21s for England and for us, but just needs to keep that match fitness then we know they’re ready for next week.”

🥳🥳🥳🥳if you are a football fan, isn’t it a great news? 😃 If you aren’t, well, I will advise you to join Barcelona 🤗 They are arguably the best club 😌😌who wants to argue? Bring it on!! But on a more serious note, the coming back of football is a nice thing that every football […]

Cooking can sometimes feel like a chore at the end of a busy day. It’s often tempting to throw a ready meal in the oven or call for take out. But preparing a simple and healthy family meal doesn’t have to be hard or time-consuming. Here are some quick wholesome dishes that you and your family will love. They can even be prepared in advance.
I know, what could be better that a steaming plate of fries, gravy and cheese curd? Fries, gravy, cheese curd and bacon, that’s what! Throw in some fresh shallots, chilli, and a splash of roasted bone marrow and duck gravy, and we turn this popular French-Canadian dish into a something sublime.
During the week we’re often walking out the door with a coffee in one hand and slice of toast in the other, but on weekends breakfast is never rushed. It’s a late affair, sometimes spilling over to lunch, with lots of reading and chatter in between courses of fruits, poached eggs, honey and toast. One of our favorite things we like to serve when friends are visiting are buckwheat blueberry pancakes.
There’s nothing better than a warm bowl of pumpkin soup on a cold autumn day. Combine your roasted pumpkin with some onion, garlic, vegetable broth, and a few spices, and give it some time to simmer away. Pair it with a few slices of fresh bread to turn it into something sublime.
