Speaking in Belgrade after United ended our wait for a win away from home, the manager said the return of players from injury allows him to be more versatile in terms of how he sets the team up.
The Reds started with three at the back at the Partizan Stadium, as was the case against Liverpool, although we reverted to a back four during the second half.
“I think injuries have made us get into the position where the performances didn’t come and we had fit centre-backs, good centre-backs and quality centre-backs,” Ole told reporters.
“It just made it easier to go to a back three against Liverpool and again in Serbia.
