Manchester United Football Formation
Lineup (4-2-3-1)
P. Bonner · R. Ferdinand · S. Campbell · J. Nicholl · D. Irwin · R. Keane · P. Ince · N. Whiteside · B. McClair · J. Robertson · M. HughesMy Tactics -
I have went with a 4-2-3-1 - solid flat back with four two box to box midfielders.
It is very attack minded as keane and ince Liked to join attacks also but when one goes the other sits. My main width comes from Robertson.. McClair will play tucked in behind Hughes when defending he will become a midfielder like he did for us throughout his time.
Where I win?
I win through the desire and determination I have - I purposely picked a lot of players who have actually played together they know each other inside and out.. I don't think O'neill and Hoddle will have enough to face the battle vs Keane and Ince for starters - Bale and McManaman are brilliant but i would fancy the tough and excellent defending ability of my full backs to stop that.. the quality in my front 4 is incrediable harte wasn't the greatest of defenders and i would expect the fantastic Whiteside to terrorize him. With McClair dropping deep Lawerenson will have to step forward or O'Neill will have to drop deep which will damage the balance of Bleezy. As great as archibald was I think my centre defenders are just too good.
My Players:
Packie Bonner - 80 caps for Ireland and a cult hero of the emerald isle and an absolute monster one of the greatest of all time.
Jimmy Nicholl - 73 caps for N. Ireland and a United Legend. solid right back who never hid from a tackle
Rio Ferdinand - 81 Caps for England and another United Legend - he is a rolls royce defender and a born leader.
Sol Campbell - 73 Caps for England and Rios Partner for many of them - he was strong quick and an excellent reader of the game, would put his head where others would struggle to put their feet.
Denis Irwin - 56 caps for Ireland Mr. Reliable probably the greatest full back to ever play on the British Isles and one of the best of all time, very very difficult to find a bad game he has had.
Roy Keane - 67 caps for Ireland and the greatest player this country has ever produced and one of Uniteds greatest ever. His desire and will to win is second to none.
Paul Ince - 53 caps for England very similar to roy keane in which he hates to come second always ready to roll up his sleeves and enter battle and a big game performer
Norman Whiteside - 38 caps for N. Ireland - Big Norm was a phenomenal talent who could play anywhere from midfield and up. could have been one of the greatest ever if it wasnt for his injuries
Brian McClair - 30 Scotland Caps Yet another United legend - an excellent team player who would pop up with a goal whenever it was needed would play anywhere to pull his team out of a hole to great effect.
John Robertson - 28 Scotland caps - Double European Cup winner and scorer of the winner in 1980 - in the words of brian clough "[He] became one of the finest deliverers of a football I have ever seen – in Britain or anywhere else in the world – as fine as the Brazilians or the supremely gifted Italians."
Mark Hughes - 72 caps for wales and Yet another Manchester United legend - he was the biggest of big game players - a goal machine in anyway way possible sometimes the impossible way. a true great
