after the injury to rooney, mu has been playing the 4-5-1 combo which does not seem to be working. we've scored only 3 goals in 5 matches. tevez may need some time to settle down with united and without ronaldo for 3 matches there was lot of pressure on nani to deliver. but i feel, without 2 main strikers it is impossible to win the premiership this year. wat do u think?

i think 4-4-2 is the best option for united because teves' height is below 180 cm which in my opinion is not enough for attacking especially for counter attack situation. teves need another striker with 180 cm minimum height to hold on the ball longer for giving the opportunity for midfielders or wing backs to do overlap in counter attack situation and also to provide teves' chance for creating goal. i recommend anelka to replace solskjaer to add more striker in united squad.

it looks like a nice idea. even i think 4-4-2 is the best combo as we also won last year even after having lots of injury concerns during the end. at 1 point when vidic, rio and neville were injured i thought even liverpool may beat us but we played very well. still i'd be inteested to know ur starting line-up once rooney returns.

I find the 4-4-2 as the best strategy. It is simple and superb.

well.. for Me . Manchester United are Most successful at the 4-4-2 combination :) with rooney and tevez upfront , Ryan giggs , Cristiano Ronaldo , Hargreaves , Anderson ( to be replced By Paul Scholes when he gets fit ) in the midfield and Rio Ferdinand , Vidic , Brown ( to be replaced when Gary Neville gets fit ) and Evra in the back four . this is the team . and formation that Manchester United is Most Successfull with :)

I think that man u need to get tevez and saha up front and let talent like anderson have a chanced in midfeild. Therefore nani ronaldo carrick hargreaves scholes and gigs will have to perform for thier position and man u should play better

thats a good idea but more options will have to be kept open as we know saha has injury worries all round d year. wat then? tevez cannot do much when he's alone in d frontline.

Man U traditionally under Sir Alex excel in 4-4-2. Even we win the treble using 4-4-2. Who can forget the days when we have Yorke-Cole as first option partnership and Solskjaer-Sheringham as second option. We started to try 4-5-1 since that 4-5 loss to Real Madrid sometime in 2001. The problem with 4-4-2 is Man U doesnt have enough strikers similar to 1998 teams

it's really depond on the injury of players.now ,rooney can not play ,but tevez is a new player in mu.so 4-5-1 will makes tevez lack of suppottion from the middle feild.if saha can play for the whole match,i think 4-4-2 is better.saha has a good heading and he is much more powerful.if he can attract more deffencer,tevez could make more goals.when rooney comes back ,4-3-3 is a good new way!both nani and anderson are young,when the important game comes,i think giggs and scholes must play for half of the match at least. hargreaves is a good CDM ,better than carrick.and i think CAM is suitable to carrick. in my opinion,4-5-1 is the only best combination for mu,but when saha can play for the whole match,4-4-2 is better!

the most dangerous winning formation of manutd is 4-4-2 with great winger,i think man utd cant effective with single striker....even is very oldiest formation but that man utd.
