The bar was set rather high when Manchester United boasted about the appointment of a 'set-piece' specialist last summer. So much so that then-manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer even addressed his arrival in a public interview, further amplifying the expectations placed on his shoulders He’s a very highly rated coach who is going to be working with individuals and in charge of set-plays as well," the Norwegian stated of the 'innovative' appointment, with Eric Ramsay tasked to 'work one-on-one with individual players and also take ownership over training on the side's set-plays.' For many, the gut reaction was to suddenly think United would start playing like a Sam Allardyce or Tony Pulis side from attacking set-piece scenarios, with an emphasis on physical presence in the box and well-crafted routines.
Manchester United academy graduate Anthony Elanga has made an instant impact off the bench by scoring United’s equaliser against Atletico Madrid. United have been far from their best tonight but Elanga scored with his sides first shot on target after just coming off of the bench for Marcus Rashford.
