I agree about Garnacho. I think he's been far more effective on the right.
Makes it difficult to see how Antony fits in, then, because Rashford has to play on the left.
As for strikers, I think it's time that ten Hag gave Joe Hughill a chance. He's around the same age as Hojlund (so mature enough) and has been scoring quite a few in the academy matches. He deserves a chance. Like I said, try something different...
Unfortunately, he's not in the United squad in the game, as I'd have liked to try him - at least, he wasn't when I started my United save.
On the subject of Hojlund, I don't know what your experience of him has been in your career save so far, but in my United save he's not that good. He seems to lose the ball too easily and his shooting (mine, to some extent, I suppose!) isn't that accurate, either. He's another IRL that United paid well over the odds for, in my opinion.

I think he'll improve IRL, and I also think he's played better than his goal contributions suggest. But 89 potential, that's too much IMO. So I'm trying to play him as little as possible in the first season, in order for his potential to perhaps drop a bit and be more realistic in the seasons to come.
Good to see Eriksen performing! He was one of my favorite's at Spurs and he has such a great story now after what happened to him. I do think he's a weird fit at United though, he does not seem like a player for their style but happy to see him doing well for you.
Stuttering start to the season in the league, possibly to have been expected with quite the overhaul over the summer. Like the individual player reports. It's something I kept meaning to add to my updates before focusing on 1 player etc

Weird fit, yes, I think I agree with that. As I also hinted before, I find him to be quite important in games, where United are dominant on the ball. He distributes the ball like no other in the current squad. But he often comes off being "too light" in the big games, and with more and more Premier League teams improving and knocking on the door to the top 4-6 (Aston Villa, Brighton, Newcastle etc.), I suppose we are only getting fewer of these "Eriksen games"...

Thanks! Yes I'm trying to find the best way for me to summarize a run of games, to find the balance between writing information and not making it too dense, now that I play and write quite frequently. So my plan here is to bring the results and let the player evaluation be the text to go with it. Knowing well that I won't get every detail into the writeup... Glad you like the approach so far...
- @JustinCase0110 Even in their reduced state, United should be too good for the other teams in the UECL group.
Varied set of results in the premier league; again what is to be expected at this point.

Judging from the images, I assume you still play the games yourself?...
