The front '3'.

When do you reckon we'll see either Martial - Rommers - Rashford regular, or a change in our attacking formation? Yes, we've battered some teams and there's no question we've played some sublime football at times but it feels like we've stagnated of late. We seem to be playing our number 10's on the right wing between the forwards and midfield.

How many times do we see Rommers with a ball hammered up to him, he's isolated and he's stood with his arms outstretched asking where the £#%&! his support is? Martial and Rashford have both come on at different times and have ruined teams - so why arent they at least given a run together?

Mata and Miki aren't right midfielders/wingers so why are they there?
Surely one of them behind a lightening front 3 makes more sense? Pogbas a huge miss but even when he's back, I'd still want to see our three best forwards charging at defenders from everywhere. Love Jose, baffled by the formation.

Even a 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 would work better than what's happening at the minute.

Good question.

he's using martial and rashford to pressure eachother for the one spot. And if both play but it's not working, what then? bring on Mata? It's going to be even more of a problem when he starts rotating lukaku and the wardrobe.

God, this....

His plan B at the moment is to swap martial/rashford

Can't wait for plan C, Zlatan / Rommers.

We need Greizy in January or it's top 4 and a tinpot cup at best..

Ozil will be in it in a few weeks...

Just what I was thinking after Huddersfield, what a difference Mesut Ozil would make

It's not the front three. Hth

Yeah I'd like to see us play either 4-4-2 or 3-4-3.

That's my point, he/we shouldn't be. It should be Martial, Rom, Rashford because we don't play a 4-4-2. It's frustrating knowing the pace we have and the threat but it's not called upon until late in the game.

Why not start the 3 and frighten teams to death? The only criticism I have of Jose is this tbh. It's the support that Rommers needs and doesn't get a lot of the time. It's great giving him the ball early, but what then? He's usually got one choice (if he's not immediately surrounded) - play it to the left.

Hey, don't shoot the messenger. I'm not the one calling the shots here...

the forwards could be messi ronaldo and greizman and they'd still have problems breaking down teams the way united currently play.

I'd like to see us play 11 players who put a shift in.

£#%&!ers.

Watching other teams they drag teams all over with running off the ball. We're so static and let teams settle into position.
We just look lazy tbh

don't worry lads the walking wardrobe I mean God of Manchester #IamZlatan will be back soon and inject a bit of pace into the side....

We will win the quadruple with him back including the world cup

watch...

We are.

Laziest team in England without the ball. No £#%&!er works for another, they did but now we've won a few we've got back into a comfortable position so don't need to run around

God knows why "Red Santos" is having ANOTHER pop at Ibra, his return can't come quick enough.

Not about "pace".

It's about know what your good at and he does.

Hope your enjoying the mid table lump up front.

Well known for his tireless slogging off the ball, Zlat.

Get Shane Long in then.

No shit. It was just a massive non-sequitur when you were conflating his absence with our lack of hard work

This is the problem, Mourinho has lumbered us with a limited player, just because he's big and powerful, and he's f***ing around with our two best forwards, who should be the first names on the team sheet, because he won't leave him out
