Manchester United Football Formation

Lineup (4-2-3-1)

This team should, if all players play near their potential, be able to contain City and launch fast counter attacks. A potential change in the starting lineup could be Valencia for Anderson and as for subs Valencia/Rooney for Hernandez and Fletcher for Anderson in the 60-75 minute range depending on the game and switch into a 4-3-3. Whether Valencia will have recovered from both his thigh injury and his loss of form may be difficult to ascertain before the game, If Anderson starts he'll probably need subbing round about the 70th minute and it'll probably be for Scholes though it'd be nice to see vAlencia come on as a sub with chicarito for him to feed balls to :-)

Nani's listed as out with no return date according to physioroom and Kagawa won't be back until the 23rd meaning I'll be very surprised if we see either of them I just really hope we don't see Giggs/Scholes and Young in the midfield but we probably will.
