Louis van Gaal reveals Manchester United's intended formation

By , Reporter
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal says that his team will play in a 4-3-3 formation this season.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has confirmed that he intends to use a 4-3-3 formation this season.

The Red Devils looked to be using a 4-2-3-1 formation during their pre-season tour of the United States, but when asked about what setup he will play Van Gaal stated that 4-3-3 will be his preferred option.

"More or less 4-3-3. We played that already last season, in the second half of the season, and I have said that is the system I want to use," the Dutchman told the club's official website.

"We played in our shape [on tour] and played how we have to play. That's also where I have been very satisfied."

United face Tottenham Hotspur on the opening day of the Premier League season.
