Manchester United’s New Look 3-4-3 Formation: How 2014/15 XI Might Likely Line-Up

Manchester United’s number one defensive target is reportedly on the verge of a move to Old Trafford, according to the Guardian.

With both Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand having departed Old Trafford, Van Gaal views this 25-year-old German defender as the ideal leader for his new look back-line. However, any deal for the Borussia Dortmund centre-back will almost certainly have to wait until after the World Cup.
