Player Territorial Maps — Manchester United vs. Aston Villa.

I looked at the starting location of each pass every player made in open play. The results:
Observations:

➔ Fernandes & Pogba had the largest territory — the former occupying the half-spaces and the latter occupying the left.

➔ Fred’s territory was in both halves — short passes to progress the ball forwards.

➔ Rashy’s passes from deep to supply AWB’s overlaps.
➔ Martial dropping deep to help ball progression in formulating attacks.

➔ Fluidity in forwards — switching flanks at times i.e Martial/Rashford.

➔ Full-backs pushing forward to hold width, stretching the opposition backline and shuttle.
