Jim Goodwin’s United are an interesting team to watch, with plenty of tactical flexibility.
- They play a proactive back three with wing-backs and a number 10 behind the front two.
- It is a setup which allows them to play compact defense and move the ball forward quickly.
- But this setup can be vulnerable against teams that retain the ball well and can make them pay in transition, something Dundee will look to exploit here.
