Queiroz defends United formation
Carlos Queiroz has hit back at critics of Manchester United’s tactics following Saturday’s damaging loss to Blackburn at Old Trafford.
Alex Ferguson trudged down the tunnel with the jeers of United’s own fans ringing in his ears after the 2-1 defeat to Rovers.
The Scot bore the weight of anger as growing criticism over his team’s 4-3-2-1 formation and the surprising omission of Wayne Rooney saw tempers in the stands boil over.
However, Ferguson’s number-two Queiroz told Portuguese newspaper O Jogo: “Football is a game of opinions. We do not play with one up front, nor two, but with three.
“People have been crying out for us to use a 4-4-2 formation and in the Blackburn game we played with a 4-4-2 system for the first time and lost!
“We tried out the system that the fans had been demanding...and we lose. That is why football is a game in which imagination and, on many occasions, stupidity, have no limits.”
