Manchester United Football Formation

Lineup (4-4-2)

This is my Man Utd 4-4-2 diamond formation. I've dropped Rooney as I think that if you play him as a striker he comes too deep and intrudes on Juan Mata's space and if you take out Mata and play Rooney as a No.10 his link up play has been shoddy recently. His not as creative as Juan Mata and sometimes struggle to play that final ball which Falcao and Van Persie(both excellent readers of the game and attacking position) can run onto and finish with their exceptionally intelligent running and finishing abilities> the rest of the team is pretty self explanatory: Blind to protect defence and recycle possession The full backs to join the attack but also need to work hard in defense. The centre back pairing would obviously simply depend on whos not injured at the moment(because most of the back line seem to continuously get injured). Di Maria and Herrera are both excellent transitional players and gives the team more dynamism when going forward.
