What's the point over over lapping when there's no space to exploit? It's as if overlapping has to be done every time United attack. Perisic doesn't necessarily need an overlap to create space because he can create his own space to deliver into the box however many ways possible. Valencia can push up and hold a higher position, which in turns shortens the pitch for the other team because they are positionally pinned back as pace isn't a problem for Valencia obviously. But Blind and Darmian can't always do this and must sag defensively and understand that runs will be made behind them by the cd
A true crosser of the ball...look at his variety of deliveries from the wing and tell me who has that type of profile in the team. And he does that from both flanks. Mata doesn't whip it in the box, drive down the line and delivers. Perisic compares to peak Ashley Young.
