Against this, the away team Manchester United came out with a 4-2-3-1 formation. Marshall was in the forefront, with Pogba, Van der Vik and Greenwood leading the attack in the second line. Matic and Fred formed the mid-centre, and Teles, Maguire, Lindelof and Wan-Visaka formed a four-back. Goalkeeper gloves were worn by Henderson.

Manchester United also succeeded in counterattacking. In the 38th minute of the first half, Greenwood shook the net with a left-footed shot as Van der Vik slid Pogba’s grounder cross from the left flank.
