I don’t ever want to see this team posted as a possible starting United XI again…

Definitely need to recruit a DM next and if we can a back up RB. But very good business so far, I’m actually shocked.

Saul gonna come crashing down soon.

wtf do you have saul as a DM

have you ever watched him play ?

he is (or was) a midfielder in the lampard mould

scores goals coming from deep

doesnt involve himself in the general play that much or that well

doesnt even score many goals anymore

as a DM...not a chance

I’d quite like to see that midfield. Just to see how dreadful it would actually be.

Saul playing the DM role in the style of Busquets

He has the capacity to play that role. Calling him Lampard is weird when he's been forced to camp in his own half under Simeone's instructions.

Lampard played for Mourinho, mate.

A good break down from Stephen Howson as to how Saul can play the role. You don't have to be a schit brick house to do it, if you're playing on the deck with fluency.

Backup RB would be good. I don't know how good this Laird kid is but if he's not ready for more game time then a move for Trippier would be good.

The only reason we would possibly be interested in Saul is if Pogba is on his bike.

I watch a lot of Howson. He's a massive Saul fan, would probably cream his pants if we signed him.

Saul is a lone 6. I wish he was.

Tchouameni is the man we need to look into. Or Racic. Can that rich boy in this board send a message to Ole please??

Me neither, De Gea in goal?
I was hoping he’d be phased out by now

Isn't a lone 6**

My bad

I'd prefer a new keeper to be honest. I don't have much faith in either De Gea or Hendo.

I'd sell both and bring in Oblak. I think we missed a trick with Donnarumma.

Surely Saul would come in instead of pogba?

It's an interesting thought, but not going to come off. Ole has tremendous faith in McTominay and he's going to be the sitting player.

Tripper/wan Bissaka and Shaw will be the wing backs and push up very high. This means Varane and Maguire may get exposed on counter attacks down their side.

The idea is to have McTominay play a holding midfield role and be able to drop into defence to form a 3 should such a counter occur. That way Varane/Maguire can push out wide, prevent a counter and give the wing backs time to get back into position. Then they slip back into defence and Scott comes forward again to shield the back line.

Very similar to how he's been playing for Scotland but with an urge to get out of the defensive 3 as soon as is viable.

2 of Bruno, Lingard, Pogba and van de Beek will make up our midfield 3 with Scott - first choice being Pogba and Bruno with van de Beek as the reserve initially and Lingard deployed in the position if required (though he's mainly going to be Sancho's cover).

Sancho will play a free role behind a front two and be able to join the attack either centrally or from the flanks, as well as drop into midfield to give us an extra man in there should we need at any point.

Cavani, Rashford and Greenwood are the strikers. Marcus is obviously out for a few months so Dan James will be back up to Edinson and Mason in the early season.

I haven't just watches of him from this season, I've watched matches of him from many seasons. He has the capacity to do it.
