Louis van Gaal confirms formation change for Manchester United

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.
