Marcel Sabitzer played an advanced role for Man United last night.
The Red Devils secured a comfortable 1-0 win over Brentford last night after suffering two defeats in the last three games.
Manager Erik ten Hag deployed Bruno Fernandes in a deeper position to get control of possession and pushed Sabitzer forward.
The Australian international started alongside Scott McTominay in midfield as Casemiro is serving a four-match suspension.
Sabitzer provided the assist for Marcus Rashford’s goal by winning the header to knock the ball down for the England international.
The 29-year-old won 10 duels last night more than any player on the pitch.
It was a powerful and aggressive display by the Bayern Munich loanee against Thomas Frank’s men.
‘You have to say, Sabitzer came up with the goods today,’ Wright told Premier League Productions.
‘With the assist and in certain other areas, he was getting into pockets, making some nice little moves and always making himself available.
‘He got taken off in the end but I thought he did more than enough tonight in that no10 position.’
