That's about the best analysis I've seen of the game.
It explains really well the frailties of United's high press and how easy it is to counter, from what I saw, it wasn't helped by Rashford reluctance at times to press his CB, which gave them more space to play the ball out.
Other pundits have also commented on how well Steele became that 3rd CB, providing another option, whereas Onana for all his hype at being a "ball playing GK" never showed the same amount of awareness.
What I also glean from this is that EtH had/has no plan B, so when we lose possession or worse go a goal down, there is no planned reaction, we just do the same thing.
