Hojlund led the line, operating through the middle, while Marcus Rashford operated from the left and Garnacho operated from the right. It really should have marked the night that United, for the first time under Ten Hag, won by a four-goal margin. He only started against Forest because Hojlund was unavailable, forcing Ten Hag into a tactical rejig in the attacking third. Antony's failings, ultimately, could force United into recruiting a third right-sided winger in four summer transfer windows ahead of 2024/25. Through a tactical experiment, Ten Hag may have discovered a fruitful solution and, potentially, saved the club a sizeable amount of money on having to recruit another winger.
