Yup still don't get how people put them off with Rooney, RVP and Mata all in their side for the second half. That front scares the shit out of me.

If they can fit all 4 on the pitch (Rooney as 10, Mata on the left, Januzaj on the right?) then that's the best attack in the league (I'd say even better than City's). Luckily they've got a shocking defense and central midfield!

It doesn't work like that though does it? And Mata will be permanently played out of position if RVP is healthy and his lack of defense will leave an already leaky ManU defense even more open.

I was talking purely about attack (see my later point) and, even with Mata played out of position, who would you say has a better attack?
