Louis van Gaal confirms formation change for Manchester United

Louis van Gaal reveals that Manchester United will play with four at the back against Queens Park Rangers this afternoon.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has confirmed that his side will play with a four-man defence against Queens Park Rangers today.

Since the Dutchman took charge in the summer, United have played with a 3-5-2 formation.

However, this afternoon, Rafael da Silva, Marcos Rojo, Jonny Evans and Tyler Blackett will form the rearguard, with a diamond midfield in front of them.
