Not even a back 5, more like a back 7. McFred are double pivot.

Well, apparently we were desperate to sign him for 2 years but don’t actually know why.
Correct !
Varane in and Greenwood out.We'll park the bus, win via a counter and our manager will come post game convincing us the crisis is well and truly over.Cue the back 3/5 saying they hardly did any preparation.I don`t care how we do it but we need a win today. Come on United.
Really? I feel it’s a bit too ‘old’
That's what I'm thinkingAWB wingback
. I hate being negative at the start of the game because weird line-ups end up winning games. But feck me, that defensive line up will make even Mourinho proud.
Edit: I see no pace in our team either, United DNA laHopefully I am wrong but that line-up does not make much sense. Playing a back 5 with McFred but no quick attackers and wingers to get the counter-attacks going?He cannot survive this…This team screams desperation really. Wouldn't be surprised if they actually get a result!We may well win, but 5 at the back with McFred vs Nuno will not make for pleasant viewing.So no change to personnel, just a formation to get all the favourites in, except for Rashford.Good formation but would’ve loved to see Dalot and Telles instead of AWB and Shaw . And baily instead of maguireThat team probably won’t work. Who’s stretching the play? Not enough pace in the final third.
I think if you have three centre backs you don’t really need McFred and should probably play someone better on the ball.
Also not sure why Maguire is playing again, Let him sit a game out ….
All very uninspiring if I’m being honest.Thats a disgraceful team selection.
Nah, Ole is scared to lose the job.If this is Ole’s new formation, then it’s bye bye Sancho.Look at all that pace.
Counter how? With what pace?Where the hell is the creativity? It's says something when shaw is our most creative first 11 player. Even simeone is more ambitious with his first 11Honestly I think a formation like that defence and midfield would do better with a front 3 of Sancho, Greenwood and Rashford. You get pace and creativity up top to counter since that's clearly our set up. Cavani should have an impact at least.AWB at full back. Back 3, with McFred. It's clear he doesn't want to lose the game. That's it. He doesn't want to win it, just doesn't want to lose. There is no pace or creativity at all in that lineup.Horrible team selection. Still going with favorite lime Maguire, shaw and Mctominay and dropping in form greenwood and rashford.
Seems like ole has reached the end and lost his mind
Well it's definitely old, yeah. But I've been wanting to see those start together. Seeing Ronaldo partner with someone who genuinely presses will be interesting.I love this club.
We can't have Conte because he plays a pragmatic back 5 (even though his team's tend to outscore the competition).
Ole, to save his job reverts to a back 5 with two holding midfield players.
Why did we buy Sancho!? Ole should be sacked purely on how he has used Donny and Jadon.
He has to go!going for a draw to stem the tide. We haven't played this formation in god knows how long, we are going to lose again.Anton Ferdinand on BT Sport. Personality of a plank. Phil and Anton were the inferior players to their brothers and are definitely inferior pundits too.
He's in full blown panic mode and now has no idea what to do.Ole is a stubborn man with a huge ego I suspect. Behind that facade of “niceness” he wants to prove the pundits and media wrong. Why else would he not play VdB? He has destroyed that young lad’s career. And 74 million pound winger on the bench? Upfront combined age of >70 years old? I thought he was about youth and United way bla bla bla.
I am beginning to hate him now and think he is starting to get a bit delusional..
Emperor’s new clothes springs to mind.We've gone back to a back 5.... counter attack fc let's nick a win. Ole masterclass. Sick of him. Go back to Molde.
We aren't exactly scoring many either are we.
A decent team would work on their shape/formation Varane and Maguire aren't exactly shit players we shouldn't have to throw 7 players behind the ball
He's trying to stop the rot, plus his job is on the line.
Can you blame him for going so defensive today?Spurs are ass but that's the most cowardly lineup I've ever seen. His mind has completely goneMctominay and Shaw can make darting runs from deep but that is a very defensive shape, possibly with an eye on upcoming fixtures. Hope it works better than when we tried this vs Leipzeig last season and they destroyed us with the long diagonal ball But luckily we're trying it out against Spurs Sexy Bench.This line up doesn’t make sense as we have no pace up front, which means we need control in midfield but that’s not what you get with McFred.
It will make more sense, if you go full defensive, to have pace up front to counter…but what do I know…If anyone is going to drag us out of this dreadful form today I expect it to be Cavani.Is Pogba injured?- Status
