Advanced full-backs

-

A feature of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's football has been encouragin­g United's full-backs to get up the pitch – a point underlined by these touch maps.

In the home game against Everton, when Mourinho was in charge, Luke Shaw and Ashley Young spent most of the game in their own half, and rarely ventured into the final third. Against Bournemout­h under the Norwegian, the same players are far more advanced and also stick to wide positions, rather than drifting inside.
