Scouting Oumar Solet: Strengths, Weaknesses & tactical fit at Manchester United
@Source: yardbarker.com
Given his stature of 1.92 meters, the 25-year-old has that commanding presence when it comes to aerial duels and physical contests, which makes him a formidable opponent for a lot of strikers in the English top tier. And then you complement those traits with his ability to read the game and anticipate the movements of his opponents; it makes him an effective option when it comes to interceptions and positioning. And then he has that composure on the ball when it comes to playing with high passing accuracy, especially when he is tasked with initiating attacks from the back, and given that he does have the experience to feature in the defensive midfielder capacity earlier in his career, it helps out when it comes to his abilities with distribution. Solet is deployed primarily in the central defensive role, but he can feature in a few different roles along the defensive side of things, bringing a sense of tactical flexibility that Amorim can use, especially in a varied role on and off the ball when it comes to his three-at-the-back setup. When I was looking into him, the first thing that I could see was his injury problems. Solet has seen some injuries in the past, and that may end up raising concerns about his long-term fitness, especially featuring in a league with the physical capacity of the Premier League. And while he has played in Serie A and the Austrian Bundesliga, the 25-year-old lacks extensive experience in Europe’s top-tier competitions, which can end up playing a role in his abilities when it comes to playing in high-pressure games. Then there is his decision-making under pressure, given how at times his passing choices under intense pressing situations have ended up in turnovers.
