Manchester United’s offensive struggles came into focus during their match against Wolves, as Marcus Rashford, Antony, and Alejandro Garnacho formed the front three. However, the introduction of Jadon Sancho onto the Old Trafford pitch added a much-needed element of control that was absent for the majority of the game. With the upcoming clash against Tottenham, Erik ten Hag might need to consider adjustments based on the performance displayed on Monday night.

Man Utd is having too many wingers?

Garnacho’s PreparednessAn evident aspect during the first half was the limited impact made by Alejandro Garnacho. The Argentine winger encountered difficulties in asserting himself on the field, mirroring Antony’s challenges. Last season showcased his tendency to struggle as a starter compared to his impactful bench appearances.

Garnacho proved himself at Old Trafford

In the previous Premier League campaign, Garnacho initiated only five starting appearances but managed to net three goals and deliver two assists, proving his bench role’s effectiveness. His ongoing struggles might necessitate his role as a substitute for now.

Sancho’s Influential RoleAs highlighted Sancho made a difference when introduced from the left flank, but he could potentially be utilized as a center-forward due to Rasmus Hojlund’s lack of readiness to start. The hefty £73 million signing showcased his impact, showcasing ball retention skills that could serve as a valuable asset for Erik ten Hag in the upcoming weekend. If Sancho were to start in the forward position, it could potentially enhance Rashford’s performance.

Rashford commenced as the forward could be a chance for Sancho shine

Although Rashford commenced as the forward, his involvement was limited, completing just 13 passes. Sancho’s ability to hold the ball and involve teammates, such as Rashford and Antony, could be beneficial. The former Manchester City player deserves a starting spot, preferably in the center-forward position rather than the left flank.
