Manchester United Football Formation

Lineup (4-3-3)

De Gea will continue grown to be the world's best between the post, so there is no better choice than him.

Rafeal shines in the RB post last season, so he'll remain there with Fabio challenging his position, and Smalling and Jones can occasionally play there too.

Evra might be heading back to Monaco, so Baines should be the best replacement. If Evra do stay, than I'll take Evra than Baines, then Buttner challenging for the LB post.

For the CB partnership, both Ferdinand and Vidic should at least serve us well for one more year, but I do expect Evans, Jones, and Smalling will be given more game time at the CB post for them to grow and eventually take over from them next few season. Michael Keane should also have some game time, e.g. during cup match to gain more experience.

For the CM partnership, Carrick who have a wonderful season will continue to serve as our main creative force, acting as a deep lying playmaker, who distribute the ball forward, out wide or backward. On the other hand, Strootman will play as a box-to-box midfielder, doing all the hard work like helping out defense, recycling possession, tackle and win the ball in midfield, bring the ball forward, helping out attack, and attempt some long shot.

As for the forward four, Ronney will play in his favourite position, that is behind the striker or "in the hole", but I'll put him slightly to the right. Kagawa will be put on the left, but not act as a left wing. Instead, he'll play as an inside forward operating in the AM line, drift to the center from the left, interchanging with Ronney form time to time. C. Ronaldo will return to his position during his time with us, acting as the right wide forward and Van Persie will be our advance forward, spearheading the attack, but I'll shift him slightly to the left instead of staying right at the center. The reason why Rooney and Van Persie are shifted slightly right and left respectively is because two attacking triangle can be form from them. This is made of Kagawa, Rooney, Van Persie, and Rooney, Van Persie, C. Ronaldo. In this way, Rooney, who will directed the attack, will have a choice to attack from two different side, and thus confusing our opponent.
