In the Days Old, Manchester United were just like the phoenix bird with their never say Die Attitude making them come out of the most impossible Situations in magnanimous style. These were the times Where United soared high on its wings. wing play has been an eternal part of United's play. From the days of Beckham United have been relying Wingers making the inch perfect Crosses and strikers rewarding the good cross with a goal. The only time there was an exception in such play was during Ronaldo Era when United shifted to a more European style free flowing football.
Today we see almost all the top teams shifting to the 4-2-3-1 formation with their Wingers not only cross but also look for opportunities to get inside the box and try and score themselves. where as United with the departure have gone back to their classical style of play, they might have won the title a further three times during this period but on the long run this style seems to have crippling United progress in Europe and also to some extent in the Premier League.
Wingers like Young and Valencia to be honest have little place in this modern day football and united Sticking to them and even further starting them every game, hampers United's chances of winning the games. especially against the top teams. As a Proof, we have experienced defeats at our own home to the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City far too often in the last 3 years and also struggle at Anfield, Emirates etc. Furthermore With their Current form, Valencia and young cross quality has been below Average even for a classic Winger and adding to it they have been very poor defensively.
United have been using the right formation this season and now only need to put faith in Nani, Zaha, Kagawa instead of Young and Valencia. Breaking away from the classic style of football is the only option the Red Devils are left with if they need to establish themselves as a proper threat in Europe and in the league. Sticking with the current play would leave 20 times Champions of England as nothing but outdated bunch of men. Hoping United have learned their Lesson from the Derby embarrassment of last weekend and believe Moyes makes the Necessary changes needed.
