The tactical execution of the whole game was obviously inferior to Atalanta, which was short of soldiers. A draw on the road is certainly welcome, but I hope that the manager will continue to identify and solve the potential problems in order to make the game a success.

Rashford's confidence exploded when he received the ball in the box, and after the shot was blocked, the ball came to Pogba, who flicked the ball to McTominay, and the ensuing shot was deflected and hit the post, leaving Atlanta in a cold sweat.
Against an Atlanta defense that is disciplined and executes at a high rate.

The offense was a bit stymied and there seemed to be some confusion on defense, from Atlanta vs.

Looking at the execution of the press by both teams, the same situation of multiple pressing offensive players was interrupted many times by Atlanta players running and filling the gap

Instead, they repeatedly ended up fouling, allowing the field to gradually become passive.
In the 11th minute, Freuler's direct kick hit McTominay's foot and deflected, unexpectedly giving Zapata a chance when

With the quick return of the defense, the whole formation leaned to the right, and the two midfielders were brought to the right without returning to the center in time, resulting in a gap at the top of the box. Zapata calmly dribbled past Wan-Bisaka and passed the ball to the ground, and Ili?i? received the ball with a quick cut that made De Gea fall to the ground, and the score was 1-0, Atlanta scored the first goal.
It's a shame that LukeShaw actually swung his head around to check Ili?i?'s position as he came back to the defense, but after confirming that there was no sign of him on the wing, he rushed towards the box, and by the time he swung his head around to check the other side of the field, Zapata had already dribbled past Wan-Bisaka to make the pass.

The defense, on the other hand, frequently switched Zapata and Ili?i? to challenge Maguire's back, but the experienced and speedy Varane was there and didn't let Atlanta get away with it easily.
As the game entered the 30th minute, Pogba's sticky attributes came close to sending the
Manchester United Football Club
Bringing it into a crisis, Pogba, who received the throw-in, persisted with the ball in the face of Atlanta's pack and bounced the ball onto Koopmeiners' foot into his own box, but Bailly reacted quickly enough to make up for it the moment Zapata got a one-two punch and managed to block the point.
