Tactical analysis
Fernando Torres
Fernando Torres will be the main threat to United.

His movement is exceptional. He makes clever runs - little bendy darts across the back four, or a diagonal run between the two centre-backs or between centre-back and full-back.

He can either drift behind you or sit in the space between the centre-backs and the midfield. That gives defenders problems.

Do you go with him, and then leave a space in behind that someone like Steven Gerrard can exploit, or do you let him go and risk giving him all the time and space he wants?
