Back Three Formations

In this episode, we talk about back three formations.

Ruben Amorim loves them, and he’ll be the boss at Manchester United from next week.

And Simone Inzaghi’s Internazionale, also featuring a back three, beat Arsenal this week, had already drawn with Man City; and are yet to concede a Champions League goal.

And can Manchester United’s current squad adapt to Amorim’s favoured formation?
