Transfer: Man Utd set eyes on signing £36,000 a week versatile star – Report
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer must be hoping to return to winning ways and it is highly likely that stars will return to face Dean Smith’s team.
In the goal, in form David De Gea should replace Dean Henderson and in front of the Spaniard, the likes of Varane and captain Maguire would return to play in the central defense. The likes of Shaw and Wan-Bissaka could start in the fullback positions.
In the midfield, record signing Paul Pogba would likely return to partner veteran play breaker, Nemanja Matic, who was one of the better players in the League Cup game vs West Ham.
As far as the attack is concerned, Ronaldo must play as the lone center forward up front and behind him, Bruno Fernandes should play in the CAM role.
Mason Greenwood would return to likely start on the right flank. With Sancho out of form, Lingard should get the nod to start his frist PL game of the season.
Here is Man Utd’s strongest possible 4-2-3-1 XI vs Villa:
To me this line up isn’t a kind of threat. But if ole is a wise coach he should know that he has to reserve ronaldo,pogba and fernandes for champions league clash against villa real that snatch europa trophy from man utd. Cavani is available ole has enough players at his disposal yet he can’t use them well. It is sad that coaches that didn’t have a strong squad as ole still won trophies and get fired. And one who is messing up is praise utd fans u av been fooled again. Pls don.t expect any trophy ole is playing the role glazers want they won’t sack him. Fans read in between the lines.
