Summary

Christian Eriksen is Manchester United's go-to corner-taker, while Bruno Fernandes tends to take charge of free-kicks. Fernandes is the key target from corners, including short passes - winning first contact in nearly half of the balls fired at him.

Perhaps surprisingly, 5' 9" centre-back Lisandro Martinez is the prime target from free-kicks - but half of these attempts have been played back to him in the defensive line.
