Manchester United beat Manchester City 2–0, but this match was decided by tactics long before the goals arrived.

With Michael Carrick stepping in as interim manager, United made a subtle but decisive out-of-possession adjustment that shaped the entire game. Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City were allowed to progress the ball, but only into areas United were prepared to defend — and once City tried to solve that problem, they exposed the same structural weakness again and again.

In this video, I break down:
How United’s 4-4-2 out-of-possession shape blocked central access
Why City’s build-up worked in the first phase but stalled immediately after
How Carrick’s plan created repeated 1v1 isolations for Amad against O’Reilly
Why City’s high line and rest defence became vulnerable in transition
And how both goals came from the same tactical weakness City never fixed

This isn’t analysis based on possession or narratives. It’s about structure, spacing, pressing behaviour, and how one managerial adjustment forced Guardiola’s City into a chain of tactical compromises.

When you break football down tactically, so much of it comes down to squad balance, player profiles, and how small decisions affect outcomes over time. That’s why I’ve been working with a game called Footium.

In Footium, you run your own football club. You build a squad, recruit players, manage roles, and compete in a league against other real users. It’s genuinely useful for thinking about long-term planning and tactical balance — the same ideas we talk about in these videos.

Supporting Footium also helps support this channel and the content I make here.
