Manchester United Formation 2014

Manchester United Football Formation

Creation DateNovember 11, 2014

Lineup (4-1-2-3)

Rooney · Falcao · Di Maria · Herrera · Fellaini · Blind · Rafael · Shaw · Mc Nair · Jones · De Gea

This 4-1-2-3 formation is actually a 4-4-2 diamond with
The player at the tip of the diamond(Di Maria) roving from the center to the left attacking midfield to create space for the box to box midfielder (fellaini) and same time getting support from the left fullback (Shaw). Herrera rallies round the attacking third playing the central midfielder role, as well as supporting the wingback (Rafael), the trequartista (Rooney) and the defensive midfielder (Blind), Rafael runs the right side as a wingback and due to his lack of setting the offside trap, he should push a little up beyond Mc Nair whose job is to support Rafael, cover the right back, and as well keep his position at the back while been supported by blind who reads the game and pressures oncoming attacking treats. So as the left side puts attack as a priority, the right side puts defence as a priority. The defence is commanded by Jones and backed by De Gea. Falcao's job is to be the poacher. What do you think?
