Manchester United Formation 2012

Manchester United Football Formation

Creation DateAugust 19, 2012

Lineup (4-5-1)

Baines/Ferdinand · Vidic · Rafael · Patrice Evra · Nani · Valencia · Kagawa · Chicharito · Rooney · Van Persie

With Vidic now healthy, and Baines/Ferdinand/Jones as his front cover, Evra and Rgafael wont have to leave the corner backs open for easy crosses. The middle will always be reenforced by Rooney, Nani and Valencia even in retreat when Vidic and his support will have more time to set their defensive line again. While Kagawa, Van Persie and Chicharito can always force a counter attack from middle forward while Valencia and Nani set up the sides, so can Rooney switch easier from defensive to attack since Defenders will have to go up to close the line for all three: Chicharito, Kagawa and Van Persie. It's pretty much a swarming defense that turns very quickly into swarming offense. With high possession teams like Barcelona, switch Rooney to forward, and get a center defensive middle like Carrick or Fletcher and set the 4-4-1-1 formation and you got a winning first team. manchester united now has the talent to be the best team in the world. they just need to click and play the right offensive rolls that each have.
