Thinking about campaigns in the 90's, and this years United squad, we have seen a shift in the tatical formations which Sir Alex Ferguson has brought out.

Sir Alex's 98-99 squad played a rather rigid 4-4-2 which provided some pretty incredible results. It featured quick a bit of counterattacking play, mixed in with a bunch of crosses into the box.

This years squad features a lot of interchanging parts in a 4-5-1/4-3-3 alignment. The interchanging along with quick passing and movement, long and short passing and counterattacking play has provided United with great opportunities to finish the campaign with some trophies.

Both styles have provided some entertaining football. So I ask you this. Which formation do you enjoy to watch and why [you can choose more than one selection]

If think now with that new team alignment - 4-5-1/4-3-3, united can play against any team because with the normal 4-4-2 that united used before, other team could know how that would organise themselves to stop the thread but now its complicated as the defenser dont have the same man each time, that make him lost on the field and he might think that he is at the wrong place on the pitch...

i would say 4-3-3 but its not even that because when evra and the RB go forward they play like wingers.

that does leave us a bit exposed too

personally i believe the current formation is the best because very few teams know how to deal with it. It's purely counter attacking and so flexible, which makes it harder to deal with. As vish said, 4-4-2 has been round a while and some of the more experienced managers may have found systems to beat that.
