Scott McTominay has shown promise during his time at United so far, but with so midfielders ahead of him, he won’t get the game time, and his 81 potential doesn’t make him anything special. Then we move on to the younger fringe players. The Italian will only get you £3 million, but still frees up £77,000 a week in your wage budget. The first team names keep coming, with Matteo Darmian never doing enough to merit a regular place in the side. The Belgian should collect £6.5 million, give you an extra £97,000 a week for wages. Now you don’t have to sell Marouane Fellaini as his height can make him destructive in a range of positions, but in terms of footballing ability, he just isn’t good enough. Have his chance creation altered to ‘cut inside’ and his support runs to ‘come short’. Firstly, Juan Mata may be playing out on the right-hand side, but he needs to be cutting inside to make the most of his delicate left foot.
You can play around with the instructions to make the players more effective. He has the ability to drive forward (87 dribbling), play in the attackers (88 vision) and can shoot from range (90 shot power). With Nemanja Matic sitting deep, the World Cup Winner can perform the box-to-box role. The 4-4-2 may not suit Paul Pogba (90 long passing), but the Frenchman can still be utilised in this system. You then have the movement of Anthony Martial (89 sprint speed) and Alexis Sanchez (87 dribbling), as well as Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard off the bench, to stretch the defence and open up space for the other attackers. With Romelu Lukaku (90 sprint speed) in the middle, he can either run in behind or get on the end of crosses, making him the prime asset going forward. Get the ball forward quickly, play it wide and swing balls into the box. Tactics and instructionsĪ 4-4-2 formation means you are limited in what you can do tactically, but it should allow Man United to throw back to their glory days. Sergio Romero, Victor Lindelof, Ashley Young, Ander Herrera, Fred, Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford are on the bench, with Marouane Fellaini an option if you want his aerial presence. Anthony Martial plays off the powerful Romelu Lukaku (94 strength) in attack. Nemanja Matic partners the superb Paul Pogba (90 ball control) in central midfield, with Juan Mata and the tricky Alexis Sanchez (90 agility) on the flanks. David De Gea (94 GK reflexes) is the best goalkeeper on the game, and he has a vulnerable back four of Antonio Valencia, Chris Smalling, Eric Bailly and Luke Shaw ahead of him.
