Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has made the decision to start Alejandro Garnacho over Amad Diallo in today’s match against Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford. Both teams are currently tied with seven points out of a possible 15, making this a crucial game for both sides. Ten Hag will be looking to exploit Tottenham’s weaknesses and has chosen Garnacho for his explosive style, which could be effective against their high defensive line. In the FA Cup final against Manchester City earlier this year, Manchester United found success on the wings against a similar defensive strategy. Bruno Fernandes’ ability to find his attackers through the lines will also be key in today’s match.
Garnacho’s selection ahead of Amad is an interesting choice by Ten Hag. While Amad has had an impressive start to the season, Garnacho’s explosive style may better suit what the manager wants against Tottenham’s defense. Joshua Zirkzee will start up-front and will need to use clever movement to beat Micky Van de Ven, who possesses explosive pace.
With both Rashford and Garnacho in the starting lineup, Manchester United will likely focus on attacking Tottenham through quick counterattacks on the wings.
