The reason for this formation and tactics is because this will bring stability with in the game for United and also spark the creativity that is required, that could be achieved by having Mata and Herera playing together. Then we are able to bring in Fellaini in the second half to gain that domination within the air and also the introduction of carrick and young later in the game, can spark the form that united had when they managed to regain their spot in the top 4 last season.
