If we do sign the Frenchman, the question is how does Jose fit him into our side? Is it at the expense of Rashford? Martial? Mkhitaryan? Also do we play to his strengths and play 2 up top?
There's a couple of formations below, but I am well aware that in some instances we may need to upgrade on personnel to be effective in playing them.
4-1-2-1-2
Two up top, narrow formation requiring a lot of work from the fullbacks, are any of our left backs up to the challenge? Will Shaw be on his way out the door regardless?
--------------------DDG------------------
Valencia----Bailly------Rojo------Shaw
---------------------TFM-------------------
---------Herrera---------Pogba---------
-----------------Mkhitaryan--------------
-------------Griez-------Rash-------------
4-2-3-1
Pogba too deep? Griezmann up top with Pog in behind, Rash/Martial left?
Would probably need a new DM unless the big man plays alongside Ander.
--------------------DDG------------------
Valencia----Bailly------Rojo------Shaw
---------Herrera---------Pogba---------
Mkhi-------------Griez------------Martial
--------------------Rash------------------
Any other suggestions? Not sure we could make a 4-4-2 work like Atletico do with our current midfielders playing wide?

Funny seeing people's line ups without Fellaini next season
............................
Indeed. My ribs have been cracking at that one.

He'll stay, but he'll be a strategic tactic... Which is a good move for all, imho.

But have a feeling he was a means to an end, this season.

And lets hope that it does, indeed, end with this season.

Thought I would go and check out how the dips are coping with last night.
And found this gem.
Kick Owen out of Liverpool
by T Bone Steak Roysters (U3947) 25 May 2017
COMMENT ON THIS ARTICLE
Michael Owen is currently the International ambassador of Liverpool Football club. A position you would think we would give to an ex legendary player who is Liverpool through and through. Michael is not Liverpool through and through. Firstly he joined Utd a rival club that players rarely sign for due to respect of the club they love - Liverpool.
Last night at the Europa final, live on BT Sport, Michael Owen referred to Man Utd as "We". The only "we" he should be talking about is Liverpool the club he is ambassador at and the club that pays his wages.
He was asked recently what his 5 a side team would be and he chose 3 Utd players and only 1 Liverpool player
Tony Barrat has started a petition to get rid of him from our club and replace him with a true Liverpool supporter.
Here is the petition please sign it -

Love Owen.

If you sign Greizmann you would be better of going 3-4-3, in a 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 with both Pogba and Antoine one would be seriously out of place.

Will be funny seeing Mourinho sacked next summer when we do shiiiiit because we have Fellaini in our line up next season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nah, he's proved he's a big game player
Was our key player last night so it shows how Jose wants to line up against pressing teams which Fellaini does brilliantly against
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Funny because he has had an average score of 6 in the media. Key man my azz
