The standard 4-4-2 Flat seems to provide the best result for the Manchester United Women’s team. In such a formation, Brazilian forward Geyse usually drops back into your half and helps the wingers and CMs to build up a seamless attack.

Meanwhile, Melvine Malard plays as the solo forward who can take on those last defenders and opens up her path for the goal. Leah Galton acts more as an inverted winger. She can cut inside the opponent’s final third to create an additional threat with Malard. On the other hand, Bizet will play as a proper RM and help from the right side of the field.

Hayley Ladd and Ella Toone can interchange their roles where one will stay back to look out for any sneaky forwards waiting for a run in your final third and the other will join in the attack. Hannah Blundell will play as a proper fullback while Le Tissier will join the midfielders to give additional support while building an attack.

Both Dominique Janssen and Millie Turner will stay back in the field. However, Janssen might join in the build-up with the midfielders. Phallon Tullis-Joyce will be the last line of defense as the only non-outfield player (goalkeeper) in the squad.

Before assigning some advanced tactics to individual players, you should set the overall Manchester United Women’s Build-Up Style and Defensive Approach as Balanced. As you’re already using a flat formation, choosing to go too aggressive or defensive might create too much space in the midfield area, hence, they should be avoided.

Talking about the two strikers, while Geyse will have the Build-Up focus with a False 9+ role, Malard will fulfill an Advanced Forward+ role with an Attack focus. Galton’s focus should be Attack with an Inside Forward+ role. Center midfield Ladd's focus should be set to Defend, with a Holding role. Meanwhile, Toone will be the Playmaker with Attack as her focus.

Coming down to the backline, el Capitano Blundell will remain as a Fullback with a focus set to Defend. Le Tissier will play a Falseback role with a Defend focus. Both CBs (Janssen and Turner) should have a Defend focus. Janssen will play the role of a Defender and Turner will be assigned as Defender+. Lastly, Tullis-Joyce’s role will be Goalkeeper+ with a Defend focus.
