#3 Manchester United did not offer much in the final third
Rashford started his first pre-season game after cutting his vacation short and joining the United Squad. He started the game as the focal point of the United attack, wear jersey number 10.
Sanchez and Mata started to his either side. Mata and Sanchez, who showed brilliant combination play in the pre-season, could not combine much in the game due to the difference in the team set up and most of United’s problem in attack lay here.
Rashford was busy and committed in his runs, but his understanding with Sanchez and Mata left a lot to be desired. It is expected from the player who has not played with this two in too many games. Sanchez looked lively, switched play very well and with the added responsibility of the armband, showed desire, but was ineffective in the final third.
Mata did not make those runs and was not in the game at all. In fact, the Bayern defence was not a bit concerned all through the game and Neuer hardly had a save to make. Also, the case of the Right Winger came to the fore in this game again, in fact, it is a cause of concern now. Unless United get someone for that position, things look bleak.
