London, May 27 (ANI): Manchester United a working on a radical back-up plan should Barcelona take the lead in Saturday's Champions League final at Wembley.
Manager Alex Ferguson has spent the last two weeks training his side in two possible formations; one being a 3-4-3 formation to use if United find themselves chasing the game.
He has also asked winger Nani to mimic Lionel Messi in practice sessions, as he attempts to concoct a plan to contain the World Footballer of the Year.
Since securing a record 19th domestic league title with a 1-1 draw at Blackburn on May 14, Ferguson's first-team squad has focused solely on finding a way to overcome Pep Guardiola's Spanish champions, The Telegraph reports.
Ferguson has yet to inform his players of his starting XI for Wembley, but the Scot is understood to have settled on his selection, with Fabio da Silva expected to start at right-back and Michael Carrick holding off a late challenge from Darren Fletcher to play in midfield.
The tactical blueprint for Wembley is now in place following the detailed training sessions that have included 11-a-side practice games between the first team and squad members lining up as Barcelona. (ANI)
