3 Formations Van Gaal Should Try To Produce Best Results For Manchester United

2. 4-2-3-1

If Van Gaal decides to abandon his three-center back system and decides to go for a much more traditional four-man defense then Rafael, Jones, Rojo and Shaw would be his ideal backline. The addition of Rojo means that the club finally have a natural left-sided center half who can slot in and do the job.

When playing a 4-2-3-1, the most important role is played by the two central midfielders who sit just in front of the back four. In Blind and Herrera, the club have two players who can play the double-pivot to perfection as both are equally capable of contributing in attack and defense.

The addition of Di Maria means that the club now have two left-footed wingers who are equally comfortable on both plans. Di Maria and Januzaj are both capable of playing on the left or the right wing, which gives the attack a lot more variety and an injection of some much needed pace. The addition of Falcao means that if Van Gaal wants to play the Colombian as his main striker, he will need to move Rooney into midfield. In this formation, the 28-year-old will be best suited to playing the No.10 role with Falcao on his own up front.
