Midfield:
Pep Guardiola’s side are absolutely relentless in their pressure in the middle of the park and in the final third coupled with their free flowing tiki-taka game game play. If I were to be David Moyes, I would look for extra caution in the middle drafting Michael Carrick alongside Ryan Giggs as my double pivot. They both need to pick the late runs that Toni Kroos and Bastian Schweinsteiger would make lest get absolutely crucified in domination.
Giggs, United’s goto man since the days of Sir Alex Ferguson should be called upon once again. The veteran midfielder rolled back few years and played a vital role against Olympiacos and should once again be involved tonight.
Thiago Alcantara is injured for the Germans as Mario Gotze should take his deserved place in the middle, thus Moyes should advise his player to stretch the play out wide whenever they get the ball. To accomplish this, Danny Welbeck can play as a left winger/striker and his runs in the channels might cause problems for Lahm, like Oxlade Chamberlain did in Munich. Anton Valencia should start out in the wide right. With Juan Mata ineligible to take part, Shinji Kagawa, who, with his determined performance against Villa in the weekend, should get the nod as the central attacking midfielder.
