Perhaps for the first time in his Manchester United tenure, a 3-4-2-1 worked well for Ruben Amorim. Not his own specifically; more the fact that Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner also chooses to deploy that system.
While Amorim’s iteration has been the subject of plenty of debate, Glasner’s has often been praised, but it was the Portuguese who came out as the victor this time around as United secured a 2-1 win over the Eagles courtesy of goals from Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount.
