Mourinho’s Tactical Shift for Trabzonspor: Fenerbahçe to Match Manchester United Setup
Jose Mourinho’s Tactics for the Trabzonspor Match Take Shape. It has been claimed that Fenerbahçe head coach Jose Mourinho will return to the formation used in the Manchester United match.

Trailing league leaders Galatasaray by 8 points with a game in hand, Fenerbahçe will face Trabzonspor away in the 11th week of the Trendyol Süper Lig as their rivals sit out the week.
Mourinho‘s team aims to avoid mistakes in this critical encounter on Sunday, seeking to close the points gap. Against both Manchester United and Sipay Bodrum FK, Fenerbahçe employed a high press and controlled possession more effectively than in previous games, and the team hopes to maintain this impactful performance.
Mourinho’s Plan Against Trabzonspor
According to beIN Sports, Fenerbahçe, who lined up in a 4-4-2 with Edin Dzeko and Youssef En-Nesyri as the forward pair in their last league match, will revert to the 4-2-3-1 formation used against Manchester United. Mourinho is expected to assign En-Nesyri to the striker role.
With two goals in his last two matches, the Moroccan striker’s strong performance has lifted spirits. The center-back pairing of Djiku and Becao, who won fans over with their play against Sipay Bodrum FK, is also expected to remain unchanged against Trabzonspor.
On the left flank, Filip Kostic is anticipated to retain his position, while Fred, who returns from suspension, is expected to replace İsmail Yüksek in the starting lineup. Although Fred has been disappointing this season, he shone in last season’s Trabzonspor match by scoring twice, and a return to form would be crucial for Fenerbahçe’s title hopes.
Dusan Tadic, one of Fenerbahçe’s top scorers this season and rested for the Bodrum FK match, will also likely return to the starting lineup.
Fenerbahçe, currently enjoying the longest away unbeaten streak in club history in the Trendyol Süper Lig, aims to continue its impressive run.
