Michael Carrick has transformed Manchester United since taking over, winning 12 of his first 17 games and averaging 2.29 points per game. But despite those impressive results, a tactical weakness is starting to emerge β one that Fulham, Newcastle United and AC Milan have all exposed.
In this video, we break down Manchester United's tactics under Carrick and explain the weaknesses in their pressing structure, wide-area defending and midfield positioning. From the Fulham and Newcastle games to Milan's preseason victory, there appears to be a clear blueprint for opponents looking to exploit United.
Can Carrick fix these vulnerabilities before Premier League managers figure them out? We look at the three key tactical changes Manchester United need to make, why Chelsea could pose a major threat, and whether Carrick's system is genuinely at risk.
