Manchester United Football Formation
Lineup (4-1-3-2)
Rooney · Van Persie · Nani · Kagawa · Valencia · Carrick · Buttner · Vidic · Jones · Smalling · De Gea1. First of all im ignoring all the injuries.
2. I will not be going into too much detail
3. De Gea no doubt he is our top man between the post
4.. RB- This position was slightly tricky for me, Rafael's defensive work rate has always been poor, Smallings is good enough not to forget his performance this season has been outstanding ( vs Arsenal in particular) as for Rafael his performances have made it clear why Moyes does not select him as SAF once did he has been simply poor. In simple terms Smalling has been consistent in a way.
5. CB- alot questions surrounding Vidic and his form compared to a few years back as for me he still is the same no nonsense defender and his experience is vital
6. CB- Jones' work rate is out of this world, some of you might wonder why not him instead of Carrick on the CDM role. Well Jones for me hasnt developed that well as a Midfielder still has alot of work to do in terms of that role. However as a CB he is fantastic for me reminds me of Fabio Cannavaro in some respects.
7. LB- I dont like Evra this season at all, and this is putting it simple. Buttner deserves a chance , Evra has been horrible for me.
8. No question this man is the man, yes im sure he wont be able to keep up his stamina for this role and if that is the case though he has been shite this season Fellaini may just stand in. But never mind his stamin he is the man for this
9. Never liked Valencia last season, but this season i have had a change of heart his crossing, movement, dribbling (though still predictable doesnt seem to be easily stopped) and overall he has really developed into this role. Maybe the number 7 did have some psychological whatever the case he is a good player now.
10. Kagawa, this is his natural role and as long as we play our current formation were he is made a winger he doesnt perform at his best. Wayne without a doubt is better than him in this role no disrespect to Kagawa but its such a waste making him a winger when he works his magic best behind the striker or in this case strickers.
11. This is really a gamble because the word defending seems to be foreign to Nani. But there is no question about his attacking abilities not the same as he was 3 seasons ago however he is the best we have.
12. Solid striker, good movement, good enough dribbling, knows how to score. Van Persie is just world class, he does what is expected from a striker and was the driving force for us last season.
13. I'm going to be very biased here Wayne Rooney is my favourite player on the planet. Attacking, Midfield, Defending haha even a keeper in training. The man is Versatile and for me is the heart of Manchester United this season just like he was when Ronaldo left. He is our most consistent player this season. Only rivaled by Aguero, Ronaldo and Messi for me. Everyone else is playing catch up to this guy, yes even Ribery who is in the top 3 for the Ballon. Last season wasnt his best at that means not the best he can do, last season he was still better than a bunch of strikers in the epl. And i dont like him on the CF role at all he should be playing alongside rvp! *i did say i biased,*but in all fairness this guy is great player i really see him beat all the epl top goals scorer records with Alan Shearer's as an exception because his record of 260 goals is simply out of this world and his really up to Wayne to decide
14. Lastly this is not the diamond formation at all, if you know your football you will get why and if you dont and you are really curious as to how its different? well make this famous then :p
