........................Henderson
.........McTominay Maguire Shaw
AWB .................Matic................Telles
Mata...............Fernandes.........VDB
......................Greenwood
I think DDG, Maguire, Pogba, Martial and Rashford could all do with a break. This line up allows that (mostly) and means Henderson gets a game, McTominay can show us if he can play CB well enough, Telles gets to get forward, Mata links well with Fernandes and DVB and Greenwood gets to play CF.
How I’d line up for Newcastle

Ah yes the old 3-3-3-1 formation.

i dont understand the obsession amongst some united fans with playing a back 5 in the next game, you're playing newcastle.

I don’t see what wrong with the line up.
As for the formation, it’s not set in stone guys. Formations change during transition from defence to attack. We have all seen CB’s striding into midfield with the ball, a wide player switching flanks or A CF coming deep.

It makes sense given our weakness at CB and lack of threat From the wings.

But you've been Shiite going forward this season too and you're playing an incredibly defensive side, why play another defender to make that even more difficult

Well, you don’t want to concede too many if you are struggling to score many so it makes sense to add numbers where the quality is lower and hope the quality of the fewer attacking players pays off.
Plus, 3 CB’s means greater threat at set pieces.

Yes you had a howler last week, hardly see how that means that you need to play 5 defenders and matic against maybe the most defensive team in the league.

Well,
We have been poor in defence
We have just signed a very attack minded LB
Pogba has looked lethargic
Martial is suspended
Hence the line up / set up
