—Jones & Diaz wide pulled Ugarte & Mainoo, Diallo with Mac Allister, and Robertson advancing high and moving De Light across. —Bruno is a bit high because of Arnold's position and Gravenberch is on the same height as Hojlund. That stretched Manchester United between the lines.

—Gravenberch sneaks behind Hojlund's back into space to receive Diaz's pass. —Gakpo as a false nine penetrated the box between Maguire and Lisandro Martinez. & with De Light attracted by Robertson, he was late to prevent Gravenberch's pass.

—Here again, Dalot jumps onto Arnold & Lisandro Martinez dashes across toward Salah. So, the rest of the backline has to shift to cover. —Again, Manchester United's Between the Lines is stretched, so Jones and Mac Allister could exploit the box through late runs from behind.

—Konaté with a diagonal ball feeds Salah on the wing. Bruno is close to Arnold's narrowed position. —Jones runs toward Maguire, Luis Diaz against De Light-> the space is freed for Mac Allister to run into with Mainoo & Ugarte late on the follow.
