I think it's LVG's plan to put his own team but they couldn't get top players for all the positions, so IMO it's a plan not completely executed, basically a part plan

I feel like it was a bit half-baked. They wanted to upgrade their attack, but the NEEDED to bolster their defense first. Shaw, Blind an Rojo should help, but they still lack a real right back or wingback and a central midfielder who can shield the defense and control the midfield. Herera, Mata, Di Maria, and Januzaj are quality, but they're all attackers. They have no box to box guy (though Di Maria can perhaps do that in a pinch) and they don't have the person to do it. Carrick and Fletcher just don't cut it.

That said, now they have arguably the best strike force in the league, though at least one of that trio is going to end up unhappy. They'll be very dangerous if they can figure out how to get this to work, but it seems lopsided to me.

united tried all summer to get big names, they started to run out of time and options so they just bought anyone that would come. over paying on transfer fee's and wages just to get that headline name through the door.

it will either work and they'll be a very good attacking team to watch or go the other way and be absolutely crap because of a lack of balance.

it will be fun to watch either way!

I'll have no fun to watch if they succeed, so it's no fun to watch either way

They could copy our formation and play:


--------------De Gea-----------
Rafael----Jones---Rojo-----Shaw
--------------Blind------------
------Herrera------Di Maria----
-------------Rooney------------
--------RVP-----Falcao---------

Which IMO looks a very decent team, the only real weakness being a lack of pace in attack (unless Falcao is fast? and even then his knee might slow him down).

I'm just praying LVG is stubborn enought to stick with his 352 formation
