Right when things were looking good, you get slapped by Arsenal. Need a bounce back now

I'm back to trying to make the 3-4-2-1 work. It's more potent offensively than the 3-5-2 but def leaves me exposed at times.

Man of the Match
Bruno Fernandes (MUN): 9.3 rating, 1 goal

Match Notes
After defeating Wolves 2-1 in the league earlier in the week to get closer to clinching a spot in next season's UEFA Champions League, Manchester United beat them again today scoring 4 goals in a comprehensive victory with goals from Hojlund, Fernandes and a pair from Alejandro Garnacho. The squad is starting to better understand Amorim's 3-4-2-1 system, shifting from a more cautious possession-oriented approach to a more free-flowing wing-play style more reminiscent of the history and ethos of the club. They are gelling at the right time with an FA Cup Final against Chelsea looming (after their 3-1 victory over Stockport who shockingly eliminated their local rivals, Manchester City, in the previous round) and a Europa League Semi-Final against former manager, Jose Mourinho's, Fenerbahce on the horizon as well.
