3-5-2

This explosive formation is a little unconventional but it has been used by the Red Devils quite a few times.

It features a solid centre back trio along with Dembele and Fellaini, who would drop back when the other team is attacking. This setup would add to the side's offensive aptitude with 2 dynamic wingers playing ahead of Kevin de Bruyne, along with Hazard playing just behind the striker, as he has been doing this season at Chelsea.

This formation would give Belgium some positional superiority and an abundance of players going forward but it could leave them defensively vulnerable due to the lack of fullbacks.
