How Amad Diallo Will Fit into Solskjaer’s Manchester United | Starting XI, Formation & Tactics
How Amad Diallo Will Fit into Solskjaer’s Manchester United | Starting XI, Formation & Tactics

Welcome back guys! Amad Diallo Traoré will be joining Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Man United in January. So let’s take a look at why Man Utd fans should be excited at the arrival of the wonder kid. ► JOIN PATREON: https://bit.ly/StatmanPatreon Amad Diallo is a very talented young footballer. He’s mainly played for Atalanta’s youth setup in a 4-3-3 on the right wing as an inverted winger. From this position, Diallo looks to use his exceptional close control and explosive pace to dribble past players and either pass to a teammate or get a shot away himself. Diallo has consistently improved his game in the youth ranks at Atalanta. His output has shifted from being more of a goalscorer for Atalanta’s under 18s, where he scored 23 goals and registered six assists in 41 appearances, to being more well rounded for their under 19s where he’s scored 13 goals and registered 15 assists in 46 appearances. ► CHECK US OUT ON TWITCH: http://bit.ly/SMDTwitch What makes Amad Diallo such a talent is his incredible first touch. This is really evident in his dribbling style. He takes lots of little touches when carrying which allows him to quickly change direction and breeze past players. He often looks to draw the defender in by taking a bigger touch which invites the tackle as the defender believes he’s lost control when he hasn’t. A great example of Diallo’s brilliant dribbling ability was his assist vs. AC Milan’s under 19’s. Milan’s centre backs with possession. He plays to a forward who loses out. Diallo then carries wide, draws the challenge from centre back, glides past him and then picks out Colley who finishes. But his first touch is also really useful in the final third, especially inside the penalty area. It makes him a very efficient finisher in tight spaces, immediately killing the ball and allowing him to finish. ► SUBSCRIBE to STATMAN DAVE: http://bit.ly/StatmanDaveYoutube All in all I’m very excited for his arrival. I think if he’s given the time and support to settle into the side he could be a mainstay in the eleven and allow Mason Greenwood to fully take up the mantle of being Manchester United’s number nine. What do you guys think?! Can Amad Diallo become Manchester United’s right wing problems and become a key player in Solskjaer’s side?

How to Beat Julian Naglesmann’s RB Leipzig
How to Beat Julian Naglesmann’s RB Leipzig

► CHECK US OUT ON TWITCH: http://bit.ly/SMDTwitch Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Man Utd travel to Leipzig to face Rb Leipzig in the final game of the group stages in the Champions League. So let’s take a look at how you can beat a Julian Nagelsmann team. Julian Nagelsmann’s RB Leipzig are one of the most exciting teams on the planet. Without the ball they press high and with it they use aggressive forward passes, positional rotation and excellent off the ball movement to break teams down. Under Nagelsmann, Leipzig have adopted a number of different shapes and formations but regardless of how they set up the same attacking principles remain. ► SUBSCRIBE to STATMAN DAVE: http://bit.ly/StatmanDaveYoutube You have to be brave and press the German’s high up the pitch. As a progressive side, Leipzig look to play through pressure to create space higher up the pitch for the forwards. A sound strategy but any team who does this can be caught in possession and Leipzig are no exception. ► JOIN PATREON: https://bit.ly/StatmanPatreon Bayern Munich massively disrupted Leipzig from playing out of the back and controlling the game by pressing in a 3-1-3-3. This stopped Leipzig from their usual plan of playing centrally, forcing them to go long which Bayern’s centre backs dealt with easily, regaining possession. The loss of Timo Werner does reduce their direct threat in behind so you can afford to be braver and press them out of the back in a 3-1-3-3 to disrupt their play and force them to go long. Then when you’ve got control you need to play wide to stretch Leipzig horizontally, opening up lanes for dangerous underlaps. And by playing a ball carrier in central midfield, you can draw pressure which can further facilitate those underlaps. We saw Manchester United do this through Paul Pogba when the sides met in the Champions League. With the Frenchman picking up the ball, driving at Leipzig then splitting the defence with a through ball to Mason Greenwood. And finally by playing wide and drawing Leipzig’s press, you can create space for your supporting midfielders to get dangerous shots off from the edge of the box. #Nagelsmann #RbLeipzig #ManUtd Socials: 🐦Twitter: https://twitter.com/StatmanDave 📸Instagram: http://bit.ly/StatmanInsta 🖥See more at https://statmandave.com ________________________________________________________________________ ► Artist Attribution Music By: "After The Fall" Track Name: "Pieces (Extended Version)" • ATF LinkTree - https://linktr.ee/AftertheFall • DOWNLOAD @ https://www.chilloutmedia.com/atf License: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) - Full license here: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/... • Music released by: Chill Out Records @ https://goo.gl/fh3rEJ & https://www.LoFi-HipHop.com • (C) Copyright Notice: This is FREE (Royalty Free Music) that has been publicly released by Chill Out Records - No Copyright Music (Chill Out Records LLC) for use by content creators within their own YouTube and TikTok Musical.ly videos.

Why Edinson Cavani is Solskjaer’s Perfect Number Nine For Manchester United | Tactics Explained
Why Edinson Cavani is Solskjaer’s Perfect Number Nine For Manchester United | Tactics Explained

Welcome back guys! After Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani inspired Man Utd to a comeback vs. Southampton with an assist & two goals. We could see him start regularly in Solskjaer’s side. So let’s take a look at why Cavani is the perfect number nine to lead Man United’s attacking line this season. First let’s take a look at how Edinson Cavani offers something different. Cavani offers a unique option for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer through the middle. Manchester United’s forward options are all slight, pacey forwards who prefer to move away from the ball and attack the space in behind and whilst Martial does drop off and link the play, he can be dominated physically. Meanwhile, Edinson Cavani is a proper number nine with over a decade of experience playing up against some of the best defenders in the world. His physical frame and experience make him an ideal back to goal striker as he understands how and when to make himself available as a target to play up to. Edinson Cavani’s mixture of world class hold up play & off the ball movement has been evident in Man Utd’s last two games. Against Istanbul Bashiksheer when United’s deepest players were pressed high, he would often drop off into number 10 as an option to play to. Sometimes he’d play to the midfielders but often he’d play back to a defender, safety first. But regardless of the target, Cavani would play accurate, one touch passes. He completed 23 out of his 24 passes against Istanbul Bashiksheer with a completion rate of 96%. Tidy play but he was still instrumental in United’s attacking play. Cavani’s second half performance in the 3-2 turnaround at Southampton showed he’s still got razor sharp instincts and the will to win matches. Take his assist for Bruno. Ward-Prowse with the ball. He plays to Adams who gets dispossessed by Fred. Wan-Bissaka plays to Cavani who drops it back to Fred. The Brazillian does well to escape pressure and goes back to Wan-Bissaka who plays wide to Cavani. The Uruguayan then picks out Bruno Fernandes with a pinpoint pass who gives United a lifeline. As much as this was good play, several players in the United squad could have taken Cavani’s place in this goal. What only Cavani can do is score his goals. His instincts as a goalscorer are phenomenal and he’s excellent in the air. As proven in the equaliser and winner against Southampton. #EdinsonCavani #Cavani #ManUtd Socials: 🐦Twitter: https://twitter.com/StatmanDave 📸Instagram: http://bit.ly/StatmanInsta 🖥See more at https://statmandave.com ________________________________________________________________________ ► Artist Attribution Music By: "After The Fall" Track Name: "Pieces (Extended Version)" • ATF LinkTree - https://linktr.ee/AftertheFall • DOWNLOAD @ https://www.chilloutmedia.com/atf License: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) - Full license here: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/... • Music released by: Chill Out Records @ https://goo.gl/fh3rEJ & https://www.LoFi-HipHop.com • (C) Copyright Notice: This is FREE (Royalty Free Music) that has been publicly released by Chill Out Records - No Copyright Music (Chill Out Records LLC) for use by content creators within their own YouTube and TikTok Musical.ly videos.

How Donny van de Beek Improves Solskjaer’s Manchester United
How Donny van de Beek Improves Solskjaer’s Manchester United

Welcome back guys! Today we’ve got a new Man United video for you. After another fine performance from Donny van de Beek against Istanbul Basaksehir. Man Utd fans have been calling to see the dutchman start consistently in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Manchester United set up. So let’s take a look at how Donny van de Beek can make a difference for Solskjaer’s side. Check my coverage of the Istanbul game on Man Utd’s official instagram 📸: https://www.instagram.com/s/aGlnaGxpZ2h0OjE3ODQ0NDAzODEwNzU5Nzc4?igshid=1vx0knmz2ovjw&story_media_id=2161172967978151454 Since arriving at Old Trafford in the summer, Donny van de Beek has found it difficult to force his way into the first eleven mainly because he’s competing with the best number 10 in Europe right now, Bruno Fernandes. For Ajax, van de Beek largely played in Bruno’s position so it’s no surprise that he’s found it difficult to displace the man who’s been directly involved in 34 goals in his first 35 games for Manchester United. Because of this Donny’s mainly been used as an option off the bench but he’s still managed to influence games despite averaging just 14.6 minutes per Premier League appearance. He scored with his first shot in a United shirt & within 10 minutes of coming on against Arsenal, he came the closest to equalising when he forced Elneny to hit his own post. His most recent impressive performance came playing from deep alongside Fred in a double pivot. The dutchman had an impressive night against the Turkish champions Istanbul Basaksehir and it was a good example of how Solskjaer could fit VDB in the same team as Bruno Fernandes. From this deeper position, Van de Beek finds himself with time and space to orchestrate United’s build up. And this is something that’s massively lacking from United’s midfield which can force Bruno Fernandes to drop deep to organise. But with Donny in this deeper position, it allows Bruno to stay higher up the pitch where he can better influence the scoreline. Do you think Donny van de Beek should be a starter for Man Utd?

Who is Alex Telles? And Why the Porto Left Back is PERFECT For Solskjær’s Manchester United
Who is Alex Telles? And Why the Porto Left Back is PERFECT For Solskjær’s Manchester United

In today’s video we’ll be looking at why Man Utd are heavily linked with the signing of Brazilian Left-back, Alex Telles. Alex Telles spent his entire youth career at local side Juventude before he made his professional debut for the side at 19 years old, facing São Jose. He scored his first professional goal just seven months later against Cruzeiro before he made a move to Gremio in December 2012. His one season in the Brazillian top flight saw him named in the Serie A team of the year before he earned a move to Galatasaray in January 2014. After starting quickly, registering his first goal & assist in just five starts, his goal returns slowed. Impressive performances earned him a loan with an option to buy to Inter Milan in 2015. However, a red card cost him his place in the team and a permanent move to Italy, but this opened the door for Porto to replace their outgoing Brazillian left back in Alex Sandro, with Telles. After five seasons at five different clubs, Telles finally found a home in Portugal, being directly involved in 60 goals in just 127 Liga NOS appearances but where does he play? Telles is a playmaking left back. He’s got exceptional technique which is highlighted in his passing range, with the Brazillian comfortable with both short crisp passes as well as more difficult long switches. He’s very much in the mould of a Trent Alexander-Arnold or a Joshua Kimmich. A player that’s arguably too technical for a defensive role and could perhaps be more useful in midfield areas. Man United are not the only team in for the Brazilian left-back. So what’s next for Alex Telles? With his contract expiring in 2021, Porto are looking to cash in on him now rather than lose him for free in the summer. He’s been linked to a whole host of top European clubs including Chelsea, Spurs, PSG and Manchester United so expect him to move to one of the big boys. But with Chelsea and Spurs both recruiting in that area this summer, and Juan Bernat as one of PSG’s more consistent players, a move to Old Trafford seems the most likely move for the Porto man. And it’d make sense tactically, with him easily able to hold the width on the left to allow Marcus Rashford to focus on becoming one of the most dangerous goalscorers in the Premier league once again. Where do you think Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side will finish in the Premier League this season? #AlexTelles #ManUnited 🐦Twitter: https://twitter.com/StatmanDave 📸Instagram: http://bit.ly/StatmanInsta 🖥See more at https://statmandave.com ________________________________________________________________________ ► Artist Attribution Music By: "After The Fall" Track Name: "Pieces (Extended Version)" • ATF LinkTree - https://linktr.ee/AftertheFall • DOWNLOAD @ https://www.chilloutmedia.com/atf License: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) - Full license here: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/... • Music released by: Chill Out Records @ https://goo.gl/fh3rEJ & https://www.LoFi-HipHop.com • (C) Copyright Notice: This is FREE (Royalty Free Music) that has been publicly released by Chill Out Records - No Copyright Music (Chill Out Records LLC) for use by content creators within their own YouTube and TikTok Musical.ly videos.

My 2020/21 Premier League Predictions | Champion, Top 4, Relegation & Top Scorer
My 2020/21 Premier League Predictions | Champion, Top 4, Relegation & Top Scorer

My 2020/2021 Premier League Predictions | Champions, Top 4, Relegation and Top Scorer. In today’s video, I’m looking ahead to the upcoming Premier League season and making my predictions based on the stats and tactics! ► SUBSCRIBE to STATMAN DAVE: http://bit.ly/StatmanDaveYoutube Liverpool walked the Premier League last season, as their Jurgen Klopp-assembled team found yet a new level and finally brought the trophy to Merseyside. Liverpool’s fearsome front 3 of Salah, Mane and Firmino all had incredible seasons once more - thanks largely to the creative prowess of Andy Robertson and in-particular Trent Alexander-Arnold from full-back. Not to mention their league-best defensive abilities. Many are predicting that Liverpool’s cycle is coming to an end but I think there’s at least one title left in this side and I’d back Klopp to win back-to-back titles - especially if they can bring in Thiago from Bayern Munich. Man City still haven’t addressed their soft underbelly (although they have been linked strongly with Kalidou Koulibaly) and that’s a real concern for me. Despite Chelsea’s FIFA-esque transfer window, in which they’ve signed Thiago Silva, Kai Havertz, Timo Werner, Ben Chilwell and Malang Sarr, they’re still in the building stages as are Manchester United and Arsenal - all of whom are teams headining in the right direction at least. I’d also expect Spurs to make some serious ground on the top four this season given their strong record under Jose Mourinho and the addition of Doherty, although they may just miss out on Champions League football At the other end of the table I’d expect to see 2 of the 3 promoted sides (West Brom and Fulham) go straight back down alongside Aston Villa, whilst Brighton, Newcastle United and Crystal Palace could all be in serious trouble too. In the interest of balance, I have high hopes for the other promoted side - Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United - to have an excellent season and make a serious push for the top half - although they may just fall short this time around. Perhaps one of the more surprising predictions that I’m making is that Southampton will finish above Leicester City - I could see the Foxes having a pretty dire season for many reasons (Europa League fatigue, overreliance on Jamie Vardy, the loss of Ben Chilwell) and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them fall to mid-table mediocrity despite being in a pretty legitimate title race up until Christmas in 19/20. Anyway, what do you guys think?

5 Players Solskjaer's Manchester United Should Sign in the Summer…
5 Players Solskjaer's Manchester United Should Sign in the Summer…

Today we’re going to be taking a look at 5 Players Man Utd Should Sign! This video is brought to you by Football Index, the place to buy and sell shares in footballers! Great form in 2020 saw Manchester United finish the season in third place, securing Champions League football and putting them in a position to attract some of the World’s best talents. Despite Mason Greenwood’s impressive performances on the right, Man Utd still need strengthening in that position. As much as it’s an eye-watering amount of money, Manchester United should just buy Jadon Sancho. The 20 year old could quite literally lock down the right flank for 10 years and with the attacking numbers he’s put up in Germany, 120 million euros sounds like a bargain. On to left back and the first player is a little bit left field. I’d love to see United sign Burnley left midfielder, Dwight McNeil and convert him to a left back. In the modern game full backs are often a secondary attacking position and in a lot of the top sides, they operate more like wingers and allow the actual wingers to drift centrally. We’ve also seen a lot of wingers extend their careers by becoming full backs. At United we saw the likes of Antonio Valencia and Ashley Young do it to mixed results but on the continent it’s been a lot more effective. I think converting a young attacker to play in that role could see an elite player develop. The alternative is a little more traditional. Alex Telles. The Porto man has been a standout performer in Liga NOS since joining the club. The Brazilian is the quintessential attacking full back. He’s technically sound with a good range. A passing creative wing back in mould of Trent Alexander-Arnold. What’s more is he’s a threat from dead ball situations. His great technique means he delivers with shape and whip, resulting in very dangerous deliveries. And being left footed, he could allow United to send in in-swinging deliveries from both sides of the pitch. The question is whether he can adapt to life in the Premier League, if he could I think he’d be perfect to link up with Marcus Rashford. Harry Maguire’s first season in the red of Manchester saw United go from the 11th best defence in the league to the 3rd best, but Ole Gunnar Solskjær wants to be number one. Like with Sancho, I think United shouldn’t beat around the bush and move directly for Dayot Upamecano, but with the Frenchman signing a new deal until 2023, he might not be available right away. A good alternative could be Sevilla’s Diego Carlos. The 27 year old Brazilian has risen to prominence under Julian Lopetegui, using his pace to cover the attacking wing backs and impressive passing range to build out from the back. Another name linked has been Pau Torres, but with just 36 La Liga games at 23, he could be a little inexperienced. A lower risk signing would be Lille’s Gabriel. The 22 year old would reportedly cost around 30 million pounds and would allow funds to be saved for areas that need heavier reinforcement. And finally, defensive midfield. Despite Nemanja Matic’s good form in 2020, he’s no spring chicken and looking for a long term replacement for the Serbian would be smart. And whilst Ole has options at the club in Jimmy Garner or Scott McTominay, it’s unfair to put that burden on a 19 year old and a box-to-box midfielder. Therefore, in my eyes, the perfect replacement would be Declan Rice. The 21 year old has come on in leaps and bounds after just his second season playing in defensive midfield and he looked excellent after the restart, where he operated as the defensive midfielder of the pivot, allowing Thomas Soucek to join the attack. Rice has all the attributes to be a top level defensive midfielder. But as good as he is defensively, I think he’s even better in possession. With the ball he’s extremely calm, especially when he’s inside his own box when a lot of players panic. He really would be perfect for Manchester United in defensive midfield. But anyway guys what do you think? Who should Manchester United sign in the summer transfer window? #ManchesterUnited #JadonSancho #Transfers 🐦Twitter: https://twitter.com/StatmanDave 📸Instagram: http://bit.ly/StatmanInsta 🖥See more at https://statmandave.com ________________________________________________________________________ ► Music Credit: LAKEY INSPIRED Track Name: "Smile" Music By: LAKEY INSPIRED @ https://soundcloud.com/lakeyinspired Original upload HERE - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jd4nR...

My 2019/20 Champions League Predictions…
My 2019/20 Champions League Predictions…

⚽️ Champions League Live, only on Twitch ▶️https://www.twitch.com/statmandave Today we’re going to be taking a look at My 2019/20 Champions League Predictions. Football was paused halfway through the Round of 16, with four teams already through to the quarter finals and four second legs to be played. Already through are RB Leipzig, who face Atletico Madrid and Atalanta, who face Paris Saint-Germain. Still to play their second legs are Bayern Munich vs. Chelsea. Juventus take on Lyon, with the French side taking a surprise 1-0 lead into the second leg. However, with the form of Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala, combined with the fact that Lyon haven’t played competitive football since March, I think the Old Lady will progress to the quarter finals. The third tie yet to be completed is Barcelona vs. Napoli, who come into this on the back of a 1-1 draw, with neither side really finishing their seasons in style. I think like Juve, Barcelona will get found out against tougher opposition but you can’t write off a side with Messi in it so I fancy them to see off Napoli. And finally the most interesting tie of the round, Manchester City vs. Real Madrid. With a 2-1 lead and two away goals as well as the quality in their squad, it’s hard to look past Pep Guardiola’s Man City for this one. I think these quarter finals should be fairly straight forward. Bayern Munich are definitely ones to watch under Hansi Flick and I think they’ll be far too strong for Barcelona who don’t seem to have a tactical plan under Seitan. Whilst Atletico Madrid are possibly the worst team for Leipzig to draw, the ultimate footballing shithouses, Atleti will sit deep and look to exploit the Germans on the counter attack, whilst nullifying their press by going long. I think not only are Man City so much further into their possession project than Juve, but the difference in midfield quality is stark. With the likes of Rodri, Fernandinho, Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, David Silva and Kevin de Bruyne taking on an ageing Juventus midfield, I expect City to dominate proceedings and then brush Sarri aside. But the tie we’ve yet to mention could provide the biggest shock. I predict Atalanta to knock PSG out of the Champions League. Atalanta’s high-risk, high-reward playing style under Gian Piero Gasperini has seen them win the hearts of football fans across Europe. Despite having the 13th highest wage bill in Serie A, La Dea are the top scorers in the competition for the second season in a row and whilst their gung-ho style can leave them open at the back, they can quite literally outscore any opposition. And I think this will trouble PSG. So the semi-finals, Atalanta vs. Atletico and Man City vs. Bayern Munich. I think this is a step too far for Atalanta. Atalanta score a lot of their goals by encouraging teams to play out from the back before forcing turnovers and then counter attacking. And this is where Simeone’s pragmatism will come into its own. Rather than playing how Atalanta want them to play, Simeone will play the Atleti way. Physical and abrasive football. And with just one leg to frustrate and then exploit their opponents, I think Atletico are well poised to progress to their first final in four years. But the other semi final is the big one - I think whoever wins this game will go on to win the final and lift the trophy. Bayern will look to pin the full backs and remove City’s control in midfield, making them more vulnerable to negative transitions. I predict the 2019/20 Champions League final to be a contest between Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich. I think if this was the Atleti of two or three years ago, then there would be more of a debate but Atleti are in a transition, having lost Antoine Griezmann and Diego Godin in the summer, not to mention Simeone looking to evolve to a more expansive system with wingers rather than wide midfielders. Bayern Munich on the other hand honestly look back to their treble winning best and I predict the Bavarians to lift their sixth Champions League title! But anyway guys what do you think? Who do YOU think will win this season’s Champions League? #ChampionsLeague 🐦Twitter: https://twitter.com/StatmanDave 📸Instagram: http://bit.ly/StatmanInsta 🖥See more at https://statmandave.com ________________________________________________________________________ ► Music Credit: LAKEY INSPIRED Track Name: "Better Days" Music By: LAKEY INSPIRED @ https://soundcloud.com/lakeyinspired Original upload HERE - https://soundcloud.com/lakeyinspired/...
