#2 Counter Attacking Football

Manchester United are used to playing attacking football
Against PSG, Manchester United's departure from a pressing, counter-attacking brand of football had cost them the game. United failed to keep up the initial tempo and rarely caused PSG any problems in the final third. Solskjaer will be desperate to change this at Paris in midweek.

When United implement a fast, fluid style of play built on counter attacks, they look unstoppable. Much of the success Solskjaer has achieved in his short time at United has been because he stayed true to the style that is perhaps rooted in United's history. It is this brand of exciting football that needs to make a comeback on Wednesday.
Solskjaer could set his team up to counter-attack, and with the speed in his team right now, despite the injuries, he could still hurt PSG. He will look to close down the French Champions every time they have the ball and will instruct his players to deny them any space or time with the ball.
United have found a lot of joy away against big teams in the Premier League as well as the FA Cup ever since Solskjaer took over, by following these tactics. If the Red Devils stay true to their pressing, counter-attacking football, PSG could be in for some trouble.

Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
