What does it mean when a player calls "man on" to a teammate?

Encourages passing the ball quickly
Indicates an offside position
Notifies a teammate about a nearby opposing player
Suggests a switch in formation

The correct answer is: Notifies a teammate about a nearby opposing player

When a player calls "man on," they are primarily notifying a teammate about a nearby opposing player. This communication is crucial in a game situation, as it alerts the teammate to the presence of an opponent who may be in a position to challenge for the ball. By indicating that a defender is close, it helps the player make a quicker decision, whether that means maintaining possession, passing the ball, or positioning themselves to evade the opponent. In contrast, the options concerning passing quickly, offside positions, or switching formations do not accurately capture the specific and immediate nature of the "man on" call. These aspects are related to broader game strategies rather than the direct warning given by a teammate regarding an opposing player’s proximity.
