True, what I should have said was high possession all dominating team. They were very good in attack and they would completely overwhelm teams with their energy and drive.I agree with this first paragraph, but completely disagree with the second. Magnificent football is a highly subjective term, but that Utd side at its best, bombing forward at pace in possession and fighting like lunatics off it, was sensational to watch. Their 2nd half performance v us in the 3-5 remains the single best display of attacking football I’ve seen from any side against us, and I include Barcelona at Wembley, Bayern most recently, and any number of sad days v Arsenal in that.
It was 4-4-2 with wing play at its finest. But from 2002 they did start to become more compact and not as full force.
