As Bruno Fernandes converted yet another penalty, the focus as Manchester United went equal on points at the top of the league has been on their attackers.
With Luke Shaw a laughing stock under previous manager Jose Mourinho and Aaron Wan-Bissaka known more for winning back the ball than what he does with it, the full-backs can be an afterthought, yet against Aston Villa they proved key to United’s success.
Setting up in a 4-2-3-1, United’s forwards would interchange, but it was the full-backs overlapping down the outside that either created space inside for the attackers or a supply for them to use.
In this video we take a deeper look into how United’s full-backs helped them to claim the three points.
