Matt Barlow
Team (4-3-3): De Gea; Rafael, Jones, Rojo, Shaw; Di Maria, Carrick, Blind; Van Persie, Falcao, Rooney.
Justification: “Four at the back offers a more solid base for all the attacking forces. Carrick in to sit and control. Legs from Blind and Di Maria. And what a front three. Sadly no room for Mata, a wonderful player, but he can be involved behind two strikers with a slight tweak to 4-3-1-2.”
Lee Clayton
Team (4-3-3): De Gea; Rafael, Jones, Evans, Shaw; Di Maria, Carrick, Blind; Van Persie, Falcao, Rooney.
Justification: “Still not sure about the key full-back areas and Rafael is a mistake waiting to happen every game. Carrick, playing very deep and dropping to make an auxiliary centre back/front sweeper is key to this. Mata slows down the game too much.The front three could be explosive, if they can fit together.”
