Default I want to play like Man Utd

I started playing this game a few days ago and I am seeing that a 4-4-2 diamond is for me the most succesfull tactic but I just don't like the diamond, I have never been a fan.

I have tried other tactics but so far no good, I was wandering if anyone had made a tactic that plays like Man Utd do at the moment, because they are beautiful to watch and I want to try and replicate it on FM.

to me it looks like a kind of mix between 4-4-2 and 4-2-3-1 sometimes they line up.

Rooney Larsson
Giggs Scholes Carrick Ronaldo
Evra Ferdinand Vidic Neville

other times it looks more

Larsson
Giggs Rooney Ronaldo
Scholes Carrick
Evra Ferdinand Vidic Neville

obviously the players change from game to game but I used these players for the example.

Instructions:
Evra and Neville both attack often as fullbacks and get a lot of crosses in.

Carrick seems to be the ball winning DMC.

Rooney is like the second striker that comes back into midfield.

Rooney's been playing on the left wing a fair bit recently while Giggs drifts infield.

Direct passing with a high tempo and plenty of width I guess; Rooney with a free role for sure.

Yes Rooney and Giggs swap sometimes I just put it like this for example, but in all the games Giggs, Rooney and Ronaldo switch position often in the 4-2-3-1

I like this idea and as you may have noticed by my rampant posting today, am really bored at work.

I’d try this:

Team Instructions:

Mentality: 14 (“Attacking”)
Creative Freedom: 4 (“Little”)
Passing: 15 (“Direct”)
Tempo: 15 (“Quick”)
Width: 15 (“Wide”)
Closing Down: 15 (“Often”)
Defensive Line: 14 (“Push up”)

Play offside: Ticked
Corners: Near post

Everything else left to default.

Player instructions (left to team or default unless specified):

Edwin VAN DER SAR
Default keeper settings, distribution set to “defender collect.”

Gary NEVILLE/ Patrice EVRA
Forward runs often, run with ball often (for Evra), try through balls mixed, cross ball mixed.

Rio FERDINAND/Nemanja VIDIC
Mentality 6 (“normal”), all instructions set to rarely, possibly through balls to “mixed for Ferdinand.” For attacking corners set Vidic to “attack near post.”

Cristiano RONALDO/Ryan GIGGS
Forward runs/run with ball often, through balls/cross ball mixed.

Michael Carrick
Mentality 6 (“normal”), forward runs/run with ball rarely, try through balls/cross ball mixed.

Paul Scholes
Forward runs often.

Wayne Rooney
Forward runs/run with ball/try through balls/cross ball mixed, tick “free role” box. Consider giving some creative freedom too.

Henrik Larsson
Forward runs/run with ball rarely, through balls/cross ball mixed. Maybe tick “hold up ball?”

I’d give the wingers forward arrows too. That’s basically what I’d do to try and emulate them anyway.

Oh yeah, I'd knock closing down to 6 for the centre-backs too; and usually set all long shots to rarely.
