"Carrick has show flexibility aligned to the United DNA in terms of applying multi directional approaches to attack the opponent and counter attacking from deeper blocks.

The front end of the press has improved as well as the two CBs being better at reading the counter press situations vs Spurs in all phases of play - reducing the spacing.

"these points are included and credited in the post. this post is about the true transition to meet modern era. for united its not about applying a new philosophy which is based around heavy positional-possession approaches (which ineos first wanted). its about maximising and making the club true philosophy work. which required a transition base collective team more concepts. thats the progress which credits carrick whilst highlight the next aim to work towards. there are more stages to work towards opposed to applying game plans vs every T4. out possessing and conceding too much of the ball"

"DNA (innate/subconscious tendencies) runs much deeper and forms the core of the club manager and players. It can ultimately be reduced to one fundamental check: proactive vs risk-averse. Identity (conscious choices) is layered on top of the DNA shaping how the team expresses itself on the pitch while still remaining aligned to the clubs innate DNA: transitional vs possession based minimal passes to last line vs slow circulation 1v1s vs overloads dynamic vs static. Managers strategies to enact the club identity fall next on this structure: how are transitions minimal passes to last line"

"A manager can hold a risk averse DNA while operating within either a transitional or possession-based identity (holding players back to maintain rest def). Likewise a manager can be proactive while still favouring possession-based approaches (3rd man runs/1-2s/rotations). United DNA will always be proactive and plays on the psychology of the opponent. Therefore the selected manager must have ways of remaining proactive and aligned to the clubs core DNA (established) whilst understanding the game is suited to heavy transitions (modern day - due to increased athleticism - more on this later)."

"Whereas the pre-established united DNA is to be proactive within those same long possession spells or transitional moments where more players are thrown forward.

"The manager is to also posses these instincts as their principles with coaching staff able to coach them. These instincts wont appear as clearly identifiable passing patterns/automatisms. They are the key components to making strategies click allow different profiles (players are the tactics) to fit into a system and align DNA-Identity-Strategy (game model). It is not for a DoF to dictate a new identity of the club as this identity (conscious) is layered closely with the DNA (innate). However this attempted change was made to maximise the new data recruitment model to flip players. Real"

"theres always a weakness which is where you need more concepts and avenues to attack opponents (over around through into diagonal). switching/applying between a range of concepts is true tactical flexibility not changing shapes. in the case of a switch/diag - it would ultimately depend on the quality/detail of the switch and if it lands below the receivers hips. (we see martinez play vertical/diags that have backspin and land below receiver hips often result in a chance or attacking action). the quality of the pass can keep the situation after the switch 1v1 briefly otherwise a less quality"

"accessing isolated players (wingers in 1v1 situations) through diagonal angles that play through the overload opposed to around it. this approach can act as a 'fail-safe' for the more technical players that lack high end athleticism - making the ball do the work (rondo situations) and having more directions of attack which together affect the opponent. true tactical flexibility. if lost within the rondo/overload counter pressing mechanisms due to small space situations can help the less athletic players win the ball back. fail safe"
