"Manchester United seem to oscillate wildly between philosophy: David Moyes, Ole Gunnar Solksjaer and Jose Mourinho were all traditional' in their tactics, their aura and their will to firmly replicate the Sir Alex Ferguson model for how to manage in the Premier League, with Louis van Gaal, Ralf Rangnick and Ruben Amorim continental choices designed to bring fresh, modern ideas to a club gone stale."
"You may like Whisper it, but Michael Carrick plays with a back three only in build-up, though. Most often at Middlesbrough, Carrick would operate with a 4-2-3-1, which would morph into a 3-2-5 shape. One full-back would push on into the line of attack, with another staying behind in the back three: as you can see below, that's the left-back who's bombed ahead, with the right-back building up."
Manchester United have alternated between traditional and continental managerial philosophies, alternating attempts to replicate Sir Alex Ferguson's model with modern tactical approaches. Michael Carrick returns as a manager rooted in United DNA while employing contemporary methods. Carrick typically set up Middlesbrough in a 4-2-3-1 that could morph into a 3-2-5, using back-three build-up moments during possession. One full-back would advance into attack while the opposite full-back remained as part of the back three, and two midfielders roamed to receive and progress the ball. Carrick's out-of-possession shape often resembled a 4-4-2 with zonal markers and an invitation to be pressed.
