No, not three at the back...
9/10 had Martial in for Bailly and had Herrera in there too.
He wont play as one.I really, really hope Blind is being tried as the holding midfielder. It would open up so many options for us if he can play there well enough for Mourinho.Three at the back again, Hello Van Gaal my old friendAnyone want to explain why you think we changed our formation?
I think it's just to counter Rostov and Chelsea, specifically, as they play with 3 at the back. I don't think we'll use it that often, but we'll see.
Edit: @Red Katie
It's Mystic Meg talking about the Middlesbrough game10/11, while completely misjudging the formation!
6-2-2 more likeUnited's absentees
Rooney and Martial are injured. The fact that Martial was training separately with Shaw and Schweinsteiger suggests they could be nursing knocks as well.
Schweinsteiger did get “a little problem” ahead of Bournemouth. Shaw started at Bournemouth but did not make the 18 against Chelsea.
Darmian has fallen out of favour in recent months.

No Rooney, Martial, Schweinsteiger, Shaw or Darmian in the United squad.Young would have been a better choice at LWB over Blind.
Probably because it has worked quite well?
Did the job on the potato field in Russia and matched chelsea every step of the first half before Oliver showed his shiteness yet again. I'm not surprised Jose want to explore it further.
He's starting!
Got confused and only read 'Ander' which in my head does not compute to 'Herrera' for some reason.
BTW - why does he have both names on his shirt?
Yeah, I'm scratching my head here as I was thinking we'd never see that formation again after LvG.I thought we didn't start too bad against Chelsea. And we also played 3 in the first leg so I'm assuming Jose thinks it's the best way to nullify the threat of counter attack from Rostov. Or he could he switching to it permanently..
We haven't conceded many chances in most games and have created plenty.Rooney and Martial are injured. The fact that Martial was training separately with Shaw and Schweinsteiger suggests they could be nursing knocks as well.

He started our last game, feck off Rob.Not sure why we are doing 3-4-3 these days. But if we are, then this side is a much better choice for it then the last couple. Blind and Valencia wing backs, Herrera and Pogba in midfield, Mata and Miki floating behind Ibra. Hopefully we put in a good performance and get a few goals. Not too worried about not going through.
most probably not fully recovered from his shift vs chelsea. He's an old man these days.
We drew with Rostov and Chelsea were on already on top by the time Herrera got sent off.
Looks like I was right.
Ashley Old.Don't care about formation, just want to see a good performance and a convincing win for a change.
Perhaps. Hopefully it works well.
Yeah what was that about. Fallen out f favour since Chelsea.
True, but it was definitely a 4-4-2 until the red card. I think in the first 30 minutes of the Chelsea game, Pogba was actually getting some more space and time on the ball, even with Kante matching up, and it looked good for the first 30 minutes. A 3-4-3 could also see Pogba get some more space in the middle (if the opponent isn't playing a midfield 3).
Seems a risky time, but I like that Jose is experimenting. New ideas flooding into the league and he knows he'll have to adjust to keep up.Why are people saying we're three at the back again? I thought Jones played the defensive mid role in the three man midfield in the game against Chelse up until Herrera got sent off. At least it looked like it from the way he stayed a little further up the pitch and supported Herrera. Jones was constantly present in the midfield and at times even ran higher up the pitch near Chelsea penalty area to stuck in. Clearly remember him fouling Hazard on one such occasion.
I'm very confident of that.On flashscore its a 4-1-4-1Cudos for the people predicting Mourinho would keep 3 at the back for fear of Rostov at home, although I feel it is most flattering to Martial.
Too late in the season to be starting from scratch IMO, too risky.I guess the benefit of playing Blind is that the formation can shift, without needing to make a sub, depending on how the game is going.
I don't know maybe he's simply copying Chelsea. He seen the success they've had and just went with it.
He has fallen out of a favour tbf, he hasn't gotten a lot of playing time lately. Surprised he started the last game
They know feck all.10/11 only missed out thought Side Show would be starting.
If we get to the EL final, it will be bizarre if we play him over De Gea.
He was told to mark Hazard tightly when he was on his side, and Darmian was given the same instruction when he moved to the other side. But it was a 4-4-2 with Jones and Darmian the FB's with specific marking responsibilities.Why are people saying we're three at the back again?
