Van Gaal reveals Man Utd formation: I'll play 4-3-3

After tinkering throughout his debut campaign in charge and further experiments during pre-season, the manager has now decided on his tactical approach

Louis van Gaal has revealed Manchester United will be deployed in a 4-3-3 formation during the upcoming season following preseason experimentation.

The manager tinkered with the shape of his starting XI throughout his debut season at the Old Trafford helm as United overcame a poor start to qualify for the Champions League following a one-year absence.

United has returned from its preseason tour of the United States, winning 1-0 over Club America before beating Barcelona 3-1 and losing 2-0 to Paris Saint-Germain, and Van Gaal has decided on his tactical plans.
