------------------Casemiro-

Garnacho--------Hojlund----------Rashford
Concede possession, keep it tight at the back, Bruno drops into midfield, hit them on the counter.
On the basis that I'd want to see us get higher up the pitch and create chances through high turnovers and play with more intensity then I'd want to pick a team in a 4-3- that characteristically looked a bit more like Klopp's best Liverpool teams with a functional if unspectacular midfield that was there to facilitate the other players and set the tempo:
--------------------Onana
Mazraoui--De Ligt--Maguire--Dalot
--------------------Martinez
---------Ugarte---------------Mount
Amad-----------Hojlund----------Garnacho
Ideally you'd want Yoro's pace in there at the back. Could also play Mount at LW where he has his best season for Chelsea and get Mainoo in midfield for a bit of extra class on the ball.
But the key idea there is to get as many of the more combative and energetic players in the team as possible.
My back four could be any of what we have available, it doesn’t really matter to me for now because the issues are what is in front of them.
I would then have a midfield three of Casemiro, Ugarte and Mainoo.
The front three would be Garnacho, Zirkzee and Diallo.
I would never ever play 4-2-3-1 again and I would have shot any of my coaching staff who suggested it.

Any United XI seems to be a car crash atm
Yes the defence don’t get much protection but the way they constantly switch off or just don’t anticipate danger is frightening
Midfielders who just can’t keep possession
Then a manager who makes the tactical decision to sub our best player at HT last night

Having Zirkzee is a complete and utter waste of time. We need to score goals and that guy is goal shy. He's just not a striker for me. Wants to drop deep all game and when he doesn't get chances he misses them.
The OP's line up but with Bruno (off form as he is) instead of either Rash or Ras.
Could also have Mount (if fit) instead of Cassie, who can't move...

League two managers can do this within a few weeks.
Why is that our manager can't see this yet we all can? You can park a jumbo jet in between the lines of our team quite often during a 90 mins.
Our training sessions are a waste of time. Nothing we work on is working. If anything we get worse.
Can't believe he's still in a job. It's quite honestly hilarious how badly run this club is.

Six of one and half a dozen of the other really. One will get goals with no link up play at all and the other is not bad at the link up play stuff. Neither are ideal.

No we kind of have to stick to the 4231 / 433 for now because we simply don't have good enough players to be able to cope playing wing backs.
