Assuming we manage to get Lucas and him alone what do you thing our main formation should look like?
For me I have 3 possibilities
1. 4-3-3
------------------------------De Gea------------------------------
----------Rafael------Vidic------Ferdinand------Evra---------
---------------Carrick------Lucas------Anderson---------------
-----Valencia-----------------Rooney-----------------Nani-----
2. 4-3-3
------------------------------De Gea------------------------------
----------Rafael------Vidic------Ferdinand------Evra---------
-------------Lucas--------Kagawa--------Anderson----------
-----Valencia-----------------Rooney-----------------Nani-----
3. Old faithful 4-4-2
------------------------------De Gea------------------------------
----------Rafael------Vidic------Ferdinand------Evra---------
----------Valencia------Lucas/Kagawa------Anderson----Nani -------
-------------------Rooney-------Hernandez---------- -----
Lucas and kagawa will be interchangeble based on performance and Anderson is interchangeble with Cleverly or Carrick depending on who is healthy and performance
Next Season Formation

I like that team
We may concede a few but that is one of the best attacks in world football!

Im talking about a team with no RVP. While gettin RVP is become real with each day I still dont see why we should spend £20mil on a 28yr old striker who has had only one 30+ game season and one great goal scoring season. He is injury prone and he would block Hernandez and Welbeck's development, players that represent our future significantly

He's a world class player that is available for a fairly low price. Forget the future, City and Chelsea are ready now and if we want to get our title back we need to strike hard and fast. RVP is one of the best strikers in the world and just had his best ever season.
If we bought him we'd become favourites for the title immediately.
We're probably 2 or 3 seasons away from Welbeck being a 20-30 a season striker and Sir Alex knows this because he actually has bid for Van Persie.
While you may not want us to buy him in an ideal world, if we do get him surely a surge of excitement will go through your body?!!!

Honestly I wouldnt be excited, I hope he will continue his form and bang in loads of goals and as a united fan I will support him but i'll always mantain that getting a cover left back or a ball winning midfielder remains a greater priority than RVP

De gea
Rafa - rio - vidic - Baines
Lucas - Sahin - Pirlo - Nani
RVP - Rooney
On a serious note, by some centre mids and a lb before lucas, rvp or anyone else who is not really necesary.

Fine, take rvp out and put welbeck in. It's still phenomenal. Infact, welbeck gives us better fluidity

4-2-3-1
Carrick and Scholes/Clevs/Ando in the two
Valencia/Nani/Lucas for the right
Young/Kagawa/Lucas through the middle
Young/Kagawa/Nani on the left
Strong 3 behind Rooney for smaller teams would be Nani-Lucas-Young
Could see us switching up for Vakencia-Kagawa-Young against harder opposition
But this is complete and utter speculation and football isn't played on paper.
One things for sure though, that forward line up, depth and the bench is frightening.
Nani-Kagawa-Valencia-Lucas-Young-Rooney-Hernandez-Wellbeck is one heck of a front line and very young. Average age would have to be somewhere around 23/24?

Rafael Vidic Rio Evra
----Carrick-Scholes----
Valencia-Kagawa-Lucas
------------Rooney----------
Would like to include Nani but as Tony V has been given the #7 shirt it would appear that he is going to be starting a lot of games, and rightly so.
