Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Man United 2007/08 Historical Session

The Coaches' Voice

The Coaches' Voice .

Manchester United's title-winning 4-4-2 under Sir Alex Ferguson

Built on the foundation of a solid back four and Van Der Saar in goal
Maintained a compact shape out of possession, rarely pressing in the opponent's half
In possession, United remained vertically compacted but expanded across the width of the pitch
Created room for flair players such as Nani and Cristiano Ronaldo to express themselves and create goal-scoring opportunities
Quick and strong centre-back partnership of Ferdinand and Vidic allowed the full-backs to keep their width
Heavy reliance on individual ability and extraordinary pace both in and out of possession
