I would just like to hear everyone's opinion. With the list provided by Ed002 of in's/ outs of players at United, what do you guys think the best and realistic starting lineup would be for next season?

Agree0 Disagree0

No idea mate.
If we finish top 4 it could be a different approach. It really is anyone's guess.
We could well get stuck with players we would prefer to move on so that will have any impact.
Im really looking forward to seeing what transpires between end of the season and the window closing.
We all have different opinions on players we would like to see leave and come in.
I don't kike martial as a player but who is to say if we buy 3 players that he clicks with that he won't become what some think he can.
Ole knows who he wants to keep and will find out soon enough won he has to keep and who he can bring in.

Some positions are hard to guess at the moment.

In goal, maybe Romero or a new player. I would love Oblak but cannot count on it.

Back four, I will guess Shaw, Lindelof, a new center back, and Wan-Bissaka at right back. Hard to guess who that new center back will be. Hopefully not Smalling or Jones still starting. Any of Koulibaly, Milenkovic, Manolas all would be a major upgrade. And Dalot to get plenty of minutes on either flank.

The midfield is a major problem. Pogba and Herrera look likely to be gone, and Matic is slowing down. Maybe Ole will go with two defensive midfielders, with McTominay as one of them. We have heard many names, but hard to guess who is realistic. I would love Ndombele and Bruno Fernandes as the #10.

Up front, we still could have Martial, Rashford, and Lingard. Maybe Lukaku will go to Italy. Mata should go where he can get more minutes, and hopefully Sanchez can be moved on somehow. Greenwood should come into the rotation, even Chong perhaps, but the real need is a proven goalscorer.

So as of now, it seems really hard to answer your question. Next year looks very difficult already, with all the changes required.

Based off of ed002s list i think the window could look like:

Pogba out - bruno fernandes in
Darmian out - Meunier in
Rojo out - Milenkovic in
Herrera out - saul in
Mata out - zaha in
Sanchez out (loan) - no need for a replacement as there is nothing from a footballing perspective to replace.

finish out of the top 4 i would expect more investment in the squad. but i just can't imagine Ed Woodward negotiating so many transfers.

DSG, I'd be more than happy with that.

25 Apr 2019 23:41:34
DSG, I like your list, except I hope to see Wan Bissaka at right back.

Ok for my tuppence worth, if we are hypothetically talking a squad reset assuming that DDG, Pogba and Herrera leave.

DDG out - Romero in house - deserves a year to see if he can be no1. Buy in jan if not claiming the no1. (Saves spending on a replacement this year)
Darmian out - AWB (40m) ideally, Meunier (to allow Dalot time) if not AWB
Rojo out - Milenkovic (35m) in good cost effective option
Bailly out - Manolas (36m release clause) in further strengthening CB ( Lindelof, Milenkovic, Manolas, Tuanzebe-it’s time to find out)
Herrera out - Saul (85m) in (best MF available)
Pogba out - Neves (60m) in (Rice (50m) if the budget won’t stretch to Neves
Mata out (sorry Juan) - Bruno Fernandes (50m) in
Sanchez out - Hirving Lozano (38m) in
Approx 333-343m spend with a budget of 250m plus around 100m for Pogba and a combined 20 from selling lesser players should be achievable. Admittedly 2 CB’s is asking a bit much, but I think necessary, I would settle for Milenkovic first to drop the spend down to around a more realistic (if that word can be used) 300m

The ideals. We would all love Sancho but Dortmund won’t let him go even for a reasonable price. We would all love Koulibaly but again too expensive with the needs we have. De Ligt could be the possible leader we need but he will most likely go to Barcelona. Joao Felix - very expensive, very young and un proven. Zaha looks to be going elsewhere as do Bergwijn and Hernandez.
