SLukaku's check and Rashford's wide means that they're in a position to counter, forcing Robertson and Alexander-Arnold to question their willingness to come back the line to help attack. By letting Mata go into the midfield during the defensive phases, it also means that United has extra corps in the central midfield, which helps force Liverpool to play on wide rather than central terrain. Without the side backs offering the desired width as they remain close to Lukaku and Rashford, the entire Liverpool game plan is then severely disrupted.
In addition, United does not have a number nine wandering around the central circle unable to affect the game – the Liverpool setup cancels and poses a threat to the counter, which Solskjaer introduced during his brief stint in charge.
Do not shake the cage
The story of Solskjaer in the Man Utd vs. Liverpool matches suggests that he would insist on the importance of winning this match against players who might not remember how things were going – he is even question that Sir Alex Ferguson be hired to talk to the team. However, it is important that United is not too excited.
