First, it's very hard to be a football fan in Australia, you should live like an owl in weekends.
There was a football discussion about United - Arsenal match and they mentioned a very good point. They said United should play with a formation like Chelsea against top and european teams.
In that case Fletcher, Carrick, Anderson (Scholes) and hopefully Hargreaves will play at the middle. that will build a good barrier against opponent midfield and it will let Full Backs like Evra and Oshea to do more attacking activities. Also, a player like Nani, Park or Anderson will play behind Rooney and Berbatov. I think that formation is far better than Fergie's 4-5-1 which he used agianst Barca and Arsenal. Take a look at this
Van Der Sar (Foster
Rafael (Oshea) - Rio (Evans/Brown) - Vidic - Evra
Hargreaves (Fletcher)
Carrick (Anderson) - Fletcher (Scholes)
Park (Nani/Giggs/Anderson)
Berba-Rooney
In that system Fletcher or Hargreaves will cover full backs when they are in attack. Against average and weak teams that classic 4-4-2 looks effective.
As you (Mikey) mentioned, I think Sneijder could be perfect for us. I think Van Der Vart will perform well if he comes as well. But none of those will never happen.
Meanwhile, Hargreaves will come back from USA in a month and Fergie said he's going to use him "softly softly".
so what do you think?

You don't have a good enough right back for that formation. Neville can't do all that running, Brown is more defensive-minded, and O'Shea is a utility player, he can't do what being the only man on the wing requires of you. And Rafael/Fabio (whichever) is way too young to be a starter.
Also, who would you play in the AMC position? Anderson is the only guy who would really thrive there, and that's assuming he can still play there like he did before he came to United. Other than that, Scholes would play better in the CM spots, as would Fletcher and Carrick. Giggs might be able to, but how many games can you get out of him? Rooney could adapt to the position, but you'd playing him ut of his element.
It's been said from the starty of the season that ManU needs more width, not less of it.

Who told them that Chelsea's diamond formation is effective against the top teams? From what i saw, Chelsea only played United with that formation from the best teams and they got overran in the first 45 minutes. 1. Like Mandieta6 said, we don't have the players for that, Evra might do that on the left, but Rafael is the only one that would be capable of playing with that formation on the right and he is still too young and inexperienced to have so much responsibility. 2. Chelsea are yet to prove that its effective themselves.
Hope Rooney gets a 3 match ban just like Eduardo did for his flop. I guess sine Ronaldo is gone I can start calling Rooney Flipper.

When? Before or after Flipper is going down?... Let me answer it for you. Before any contact with the keeper Rooney kicks the ball out of bounds and decides to fall down diving, hence why his knees bend down and begin to drag. He goes down sliding on his knees.

A bit weird to call Rooney Flipper, whiles Eboue was the winner of dives yesterday. Rooney's one is debatable, but nevertheless more of a penalty then Eduardo's. There was contact.....Even ex-Arsenal player, Lee Dixon, said that it was a penalty and that it was stupid from Almunia to come off his line...
