5 takeaways from Manchester United's shock defeat to Brighton

#1 United need to play 3-4-3

David de Gea - Despite playing behind four defenders, conceded three times

Many of Manchester United's title rivals employ a 3-4-3 system, utilising wing backs to turn defence into offence in the blink of an eye.

United's inability to find a secure centre-back partnership may lead them to give up on the 4-4-idea completely.

Playing three at the back, negates the need to play both centre-backs so close to each other and gives United the opportunity to play an extra attacker.

Given United are better stocked with talented attacking players than defenders, an attack-minded approach may be the way to achieve their goals for the season.

A back four has not proved successful over the past year or so. It's time for a change.
