i expect ji-sung will drift in field to bolster the centre and rooney will drift off to the left when needed, this may leave hernandez a little isolated but it worked well against chelsea, barca are of course a hugely different prospect but there aren't many options for us, i love anderson but i wouldn't trust him to start in a three/five man midfield, especially as giggs and park have played well recently
United will get destroyed if they play 4-4-2 against Barca, and I reckon Fergie knows this and will play 4-3-3. Just look what happened when United played 4-4-2 against Arsenal at the Emirates. Hernandez will start on the bench I reckon.
