Manchester United is about to reach its first signing, winning Cunha with 62.5 million. What position should Menu do?

Romano announced that Manchester United will reach an agreement with Cunha, and personal details will enter the final stage of sorting, and her we go will be reached soon. In fact, as long as the personal agreement is resolved, it will not be a problem for Manchester United to sign Cunya, because Cunya and Wolves have a termination fee of 62.5 million pounds, and Wolves and Cunya had some unpleasant experience in January, so Wolves are also willing to let Cunya go.

The transfer of 62.5 million pounds will become the first signing in Manchester United's summer window. This signing is influential on Manchester United's overall lineup structure, and it is also influential on the playing time and personnel arrangement of some players. This is also one of the key roles in Manchester United's recovery in the summer window.

Manchester United's sideline and midfielder: A character who can control and pass balls in the frontcourt

Amorin's 3421 system is actually very different. One of the changes is to shift towards the 4231 system and 433 system (the picture below). This is particularly obvious in recent games. It is not what many people say: Amorin only has three central defenders, and switching different tactical systems at different stages of the game is already the standard configuration in football. How to convert

? In the above game where Manchester United lost 0-1 to Chelsea as an example, Doorgu is the left wingback, but more appearing in the left wingback position, and Diallo, the right front midfielder, appears more appearing in the right wing forward position. Right-wing guard Mazlawi is actually more like a right-back; while left-back Lukesha is also the role of left-back.

Then, the positioning of two front midfielders in 3421 is actually very obvious. One of the front midfielders has winger attributes, that is, characters like Garnacho and Amade Diallo who can move on the wing, and the other character is the positioning of the front midfielder. The positioning of the front midfielder is the positioning left to Cunya.

Manchester United's flaws in the front and midfielder: lack of ability to enter the penalty area

Everyone says that Manchester United's offense has problems. He only scored 42 goals this season, fourth-last in the league. But I tell you that Manchester United has not had many shots this season, ranking eighth in the Premier League with 499 shots, and even just a few times away from Newcastle and Fulham. It is only 22 shots away from the current runner-up Arsenal, which is just a difference in the number of shots in a game.

Do you understand? The number of shots and the number of goals scored is the problem that Manchester United should solve. Where is the problem? The number of shots is small, and the statistical caliber of shots is the goal range and the goalkeeper makes a save move, and the shots blocked or shots that are knocked away are not counted. Manchester United's three characteristics of shooting: one is that the shooting distance is long and there are many shots outside the penalty area; the second is that they are aiming at the crowd and shooting a lot; the third is that they are wasting opportunities.

To put it bluntly, although there are many shots, there are fewer shots that really create opportunities. Why? Many people are used to targeting the center, but I prefer to focus on the two positionings of the front midfielder and the winger first. Because you really create few opportunities, you should first solve the problem of creating opportunities. So, what is the positioning of a midfielder in Manchester United?

Let's first look at Manchester United's 0-1 Chelsea game (pictured above). When wingback Doorgu took the ball at the winger and went straight down the bottom, another front midfielder Diallo (right winger positioned) at the far post grabbed the point, and the center pressed in front of the two central defenders. So what are the front-ends doing? Ferry and Mount entered the penalty area behind Hoylen to form a second floor support.

Or, you need to support the attack of the winger, and the three side center guards + wingbacks + front midfielders form an offensive team on the wing, which is often overloaded on this side, thereby completing the cross attack from the wing. In other words, you must have the ability to cross the wing, including long passes on the wing and long passes on the bottom; you must also have the ability to grab points in the penalty area, including grabbing the front point with the center and grab two points behind the center.

The content extended from this is that you are a winger with front midfielder attributes. At Manchester United, only B is the one who can do this at the moment, but B is currently positioned as a further backward, and B's ability to pass balls in the frontcourt is online, and the ball-control attributes are not enough. Manchester United needs someone who can hold the ball in the frontcourt.

Cunya's role: How can we integrate into Manchester United

The reason why Manchester United is interested in Cunya is believed to have considered the Wolves' tactics. Wolves is currently a team in the three central defender system and also focuses on the 343 tactics. Cunya's positioning in Wolves is the positioning of a front midfielder. Therefore, his arrival at Manchester United should be a seamless switching type.

The data of 15 goals and 6 assists in the Premier League this season is already very good. At least, the average goal data of 0.5 goals per game is maintained. It is very good to get this data in the Premier League. Moreover, he averaged 3.2 shots per game, which is considered to have unlimited firing rights in Wolves. If you look at his hot spots in the event, you also know that he needs to return to the back midfielder position to respond, also need to connect in the front midfielder position, and even need to respond to the second point outside the penalty area.

Cunya's shots are mostly shots from the ribs, not against the goal, so he is very suitable for a wide player like Doorgu who is not good at cutting inward. Doorgu will suck the full-backs away from the wing, and Cunia enters the penalty area at the junction of the full-back and central defenders. The above picture is the route map for Cunia to dribble the ball. You should see that his dribble attack line is heading towards the ribs.

In other words, his diagonal line interspers can easily tear open the opponent's defense line. He is not a very top offensive organizer or passer master, but he is a very keen offensive interspers character, a key to tearing the defense line with his own dribbling and running without the ball, and revitalizing the overall offense..

I don't know if you still remember Amorin's arrangement. He asked Garnacho to stay in the inside and not always go to the wing, because Amorin needs Garnacho to get the ball behind the center and in the rib space (fullback + centre-back junction), to tear open the opponent's defense space. Amorin initially frequently used the double center combination of Hoylen + Zilkize, and also arranged for Zilkize to stay in the ribs. Recently, Mount has gotten a lot of opportunities and is also playing a role in the ribs. In

, even, in Manchester United's 5-4 victory over Lyon, Menu's goal was praised by everyone, and Menu's goal was the ribs, which Cunha often did.

Signed Cunha, how many Manchester United players were affected?

spent £62.5 million to sign a main midfielder, which will definitely have a huge impact on the positioning of Manchester United players. Although Cunia can play both sides, the main position is still on the left side, so he basically reserves a role as a left midfielder. The wingback who matches him must have the winger attributes to pull the edge, so that Cunia can go to the inside.

Then, Manchester United's left wingback should be a pull-up attribute, rather than a wingback like Dalot and Mazlawi, who are used to inside activities, so Dorgu is basically a competitor to the left wingback.

As for the center position, Cunya needs the center to be at the front. Hoylen's type of center is obviously more suitable than Zilkze. Zilkze is a player who is used to having the ball under his feet, but is not used to being at the front. When Zilkze + Cunya appear at the same time, the problem of incompatibility between the two will be more serious.

There is also the front midfielder positioning. B Fee is undoubtedly retreating in position, so what about the front midfielder? Mount can be a rotation, and as for another front midfielder, Maynu, he may gradually lose his position. At least in recent games, it can be seen that Maynu's pick in the front midfielder position is lower than Mount and his pick in the back midfielder is lower than B.

The last question, how much role can Cunha play in Manchester United? I don’t know, Manchester United’s problems are extremely complicated. Many players who are adapted to tactical performance are everywhere due to too much psychological pressure.
