# 3. Change in Formation

Have you ever seen a Manchester United lineup and concluded in your mind that they were going to lose? That’s the kind of horror Mourinho subjected United fans to some of the time.

Conte will bring a sense of stability as to who will start in every game and where exactly they were going to play.

At Juventus, Conte favoured the 5-3-2 formation and it worked a treat for them during his stint there. He still played the same formation when he was Gli Azzurri’s boss until he left to take over Chelsea.

At Chelsea, the Italian used a 3-4-3 formation and managed to win the Premier League in his first season in charge.

At United, he will have players at his disposal to play in both formations. And with Pogba thriving in a 3-5-2 under Conte, he may choose that for United.

With this formation, a number of United players like Shaw, Pogba and Darmian will thrive.
