2. Manchester United must register shots on goal.

If Manchester United dominates possession in the match, they can certainly get shots on goal. With Romelu Lukaku up top, anything can happen.

Lukaku finds ways to score, even when it proves to be a difficult task. Now, City’s goalkeeper, Ederson, is among one of the best in the league. Even if United cannot score, it is important that shots are registered on the net. When there are more shots taken, there is a possibility for more goals.

While United MUST get shots on goal, they could have a difficult time getting past Manchester City’s defense. This key is not an easy one, but it is certainly a necessary one.
