Manchester United Football Formation

Lineup (4-4-1-1)

Hernandez/Welbeck · Rooney · Kagawa · Valencia · Nani/Young · Carrick/Moura · Rafael/Smalling · Evra/Baines · Vidic/Jones · Ferdinand/Evans · De Gea

This is just the look of the formation. Kagawa and Rooney may play flat across the park at times to really connect and feed balls to Welbeck and Hernandez.

Carrick and Moura (only being 19 will not play every game and every second as he will have to settle into things) will add steel and Mours is a decently strong presence and has explosive runs through the park. Kind of like the explosive Yaya Toure runs. He also has a lot of trickery and can advance at times. He plays to the end and really tries hard to he can be a box to box midfielder.

Leighton Baines has a decent defensive record, but the best thing about him is his crosses, fee kicks and pks. His cross percentage is the highest in England as a LB and will prove a threat making runs and combining with Young.

Scholes & Giggs have not been mentioned because they may only be on their last year, or will be used for big games/injuries or just when that "experience" is needed.

Versatile players like Cleverly (CM/CAM) and Jones (DM, RB, CB) can just be used to give tired legs a break and when injuries occur. Many of these players are young but do prove to have a bright future ahead of them. Rotation is everything here.

I heard there would be 2 new signings (along with Kagawa & Powell) and Lucas Moura (24mil(ish) & Anderson) & Leighton Baines (12mil) would be smart business. Lucas said he wants the 20 shirt as he wears it for Brazil (Fabio is on loan so shirt is available) and Inter failed with a 18mil bid, so United seem to be in pole position.)

Another Brazilian (a young world class Brazilian) would make United reach out to Brazil more and increase shirt sales. We could also sign Moura and turn him into a world class player and his value could skyrocket for future sale.

Smart business and a smart line up I would say we should go for it.
