Im underachieving with Man Utd atm...not something commonly associated with the club!
I have a squad of talented players, but possibly a bit light in some postitions.
I know the nucleus of the side is there, but it is possilbly a case of getting in a few more players or a change in tactics to turn this squad into world beaters!

Here's my current squad:



Could anyone suggest a good tactic to get this team winning again?

My poor recent form has been highlighted by leaking 5 goals against inter in EPL and only a narrow 1-0 win over a struggling Sheffield Wed side, courtesy of a Hargreaves free kick!

Thanks in advance!

Also, if you could reccomend any good signings it would be much appreciated!

Hi, I reckon you need a Centre back, Goalkeeper and "maybe" a central midfielder, I know Van Der Sar is still good in 2008 but he is not good enough imo and his age will always go against him, try any of these, aslong as they are at their normal clubs they wont break the bank too much,

Goalies

Igor Akinfeev £16-20 million
Amelia £6-12 million (often free a few seasons in)
Frey £13-22 million (usually gets unhappy around end of second seaason and goes onto transfer list

Centre Backs

Andrea Barzagli (very cheap if at Palermo)
Mexes
Domenico Criscito

Midfielders

Aquillani
Van der Vaart



And stop playing that formation its too open to the way the ai plays I have tried it, you end up with too much space for their players, go to a 442 and set it NARROW and counter attack, or play a 41212 and make sure the 1 infront of the back 4 is ULTRA defensive and closes down EVERYWHERE, the best buy for Man uTd has to be Van Der Vaart he gets stupid goals and assists if he is at HSV he will only cost £11million and be worth over £30million by 2011.

Tempo - Fast - 16
Width - Wide - 16
Closing Down - Own Half - 10
Time Wasting - Mixed - 8
Defensive Line - Normal - 9
Tackling - Normal - 10

Focus Passing - Down Both Flanks
