brilliant piece Umir, and well observed w.r.t the fullback space manipulation

would add:

Onana is often poor on these long range pass attempts

Casemiro gets more of the progressive long ball chances than Mainoo in this system

Amad doesn't get the aerial/through ball nearly as much as Rashford, he's encouraged to commit take ons 1v1 or 1v2
