USA Tour 2024 Is Here! Arsenal vs Man United Tactical Preview.

Published 2024-07-27
Manchester United's pre-season has been a mix of results: a defeat to Rosenborg and a victory over Rangers. Meanwhile, Arsenal's pre-season began with a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth, eventually winning on penalties. Last season, Arsenal had the upper hand in our Premier League encounters, securing wins in both matches: a 3-1 victory at the Emirates and a 1-0 win at Old Trafford in May. However, United emerged victorious in last year's pre-season fixture, with Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho scoring in a 2-0 win at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
For the 2024 pre-season tour, Erik ten Hag has named a 29-man squad. New signing Leny Yoro from Lille and returning players Christian Eriksen, Tom Heaton, Rasmus Hojlund, and Scott McTominay are included. The team boasts a wealth of experience, featuring the likes of Andre Onana, Jonny Evans, Harry Maguire, Casemiro, Mason Mount, Marcus Rashford, and Jadon Sancho. However, recent signing Joshua Zirkzee is absent, taking his summer break after Euro 2024, and Altay Bayindir, Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo, Lisandro Martinez, Facundo Pellistri, and Luke Shaw are on leave following international duties. Tyrell Malacia is also missing and continuing his rehabilitation from the injury.
In this first pre-season fixture, expect Manchester United to take a balanced approach, integrating experienced players and new signings. With a strong midfield presence and a solid defensive foundation, Ten Hag's tactics will likely focus on fluid attacking play and a solid defensive setup. The combination of established stars and fresh talent will aim to build cohesion and sharpen match fitness ahead of the new season.
