no.
United don't play the same type of system as us. the 4411 is wholly different. they have a pivot in Carrick and then essentially two interchanging AM's with Giggs and Rooney. and then to that you add a LW who can come infield (Park, Nani, now Young) and mix it up and what you have is a shitstorm of movement in the hole.
okay I get your point now. But then Nasri isn't adept at dictating the play per se, as much as Giggs can. So imagine him in place of Giggs and Young in place of Park from last year's line-up, there is no play-maker at all!! They would just need to depend on the movements in the hole as you say.
-----------------Carrick-----Fletcher
Valencia--------------Nasri--------------Young
-------------------Rooney
That is really dangerous man. Carrick/Fletcher will run the midfield. But the creative flow that is sacrificed so, will be compensated well by Nasri, Young and Rooney
Also with their lineup from last year, I feel Rooney has been good but then they lost out on the goal threat that he normally provides. Instead of dropping deep into the mid field, if he just concentrated on sharing his runs with the wingers, he'd not only be as much effective but also score few more goals.
Anyway if they were to maintain the same gameplan, Modric is the one they are looking for. Like they need to do all they can to sign him
