Manchester United Formation 2014

Manchester United Football Formation

Creation DateNovember 10, 2014

Lineup (4-1-4-1)

De gea · Evans · Jones · Rojo · Valencia · Fellaini · Di maria · Shaw · Rooney · Mata · Falcao

Evans/Jones center backs, pacey and can defend well but not very tall so fellaini drops into center back with jones as evans drifts to the right where Valencia should be but is attacking.Di Maria and Mata have free role jobs as they are the most creative and will find space to pick out a pass. Rooney defends well and gets forward, where he will join Falcao up front in a counter-attack. Meanwhile Shaw and Valencia are bombing down the wing and getting into good wide positions which will be spotted by either Mata,Di Maria or Rooney and cross it into the arial threats of Falcao and Fellaini if he gets forward, while the defence is safe with Rojo,Evans and Jones combining a back-three, whilst not to forget Fellaini if he is not attacking to make a defensive 2-2 with Evans and Jones at the back with Fellaini and Rojo sitting in front of them to stop teams from countering with the strength of Fellaini to stop any attackers that can be backed up by the fast wingers Shaw and Valencia that both know how to defend. This formation is designed for counter-attacking whilst it can also be for a passing-style team as it has a five man midfield and a lot of creative players in the starting 11.
