- Manchester United is poised to appoint Zinedine Zidane as their new manager this week, succeeding Ruben Amorim. In anticipation of Zidane’s arrival, the team’s formation is expected to shift to a 4-3-3 setup for the upcoming match against Ipswich Town.
The predicted lineup under Zidane’s 4-3-3 formation includes André Onana as the goalkeeper. The defensive line is set to feature Diogo Dalot at right-back, Lisandro Martínez and Matthijs de Ligt as the central defenders, and Patrick Dorgu at left-back. In midfield, Bruno Fernandes is expected to play a central role, flanked by Manuel Ugarte and Christian Eriksen. The attacking trio is likely to consist of Alejandro Garnacho on the left wing, Rasmus Højlund as the central striker, and Marcus Rashford on the right wing.
This formation change aims to enhance United’s offensive capabilities and provide a more balanced structure on the field. Zidane’s preference for a 4-3-3 system has been evident throughout his managerial career, notably during his successful tenure at Real Madrid. Fans will be eager to see how this tactical adjustment influences the team’s performance against Ipswich Town.
The match is scheduled to take place at Old Trafford, where Manchester United will be striving to secure a much-needed victory. Supporters are hopeful that Zidane’s leadership and the new formation will mark the beginning of a positive chapter for the club.
