Manchester United Football Formation

Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Pride from van Gaal and players a side - I think this is the best formation right now.

Balanced - and we have decent cover in every position.

If we keep the 3-5-2 system, we don't have enough center backs - or good enough wing-backs.

With this, we have a good cover in every position. Second line-up being:
Rojo-Blackett-Smalling-Valencia
Carrick-Fletcher
Young-Fellaini-Rooney
Van Persie

Both of them being good and balanced - with a couple of flexible players in Rojo/Jones/Rooney when injuries apply.
