Assuming we get Sancho and a defender (I’ll use Verane in my example) then I’d go with…

Henderson

AWB Verane Maguire
Trippier Shaw (wing backs)
Pogba Bruno
Sancho Cavani Rashford

Decent line up to me smile

Or

Henderson
AWB Verane Maguire Shaw
Niguez
Bruno Pogba
Sancho Cavani Rashford

Would be nice too biggrin
Yes to all of the above ta!

I think we may struggle to see the best of PP and Bruno in the first lineup and be swamped in midfield by any but the very weakest teams.
I like the 2nd one but know nothing about Niguez so I’m assuming he’s N excellent DM.

I didn’t realise Ole was on here and is the one putting forward all these new players wink

In any case, new players aren’t the solution if we continue to play the same way. The teams above are great. We have effectively gone balls out in that with absolutely no midfield. No way can Pogba or Bruno play the box to box charger that format would need. We’d just have teams pressing us high we’d fold with that defence.

I want change, I want tactics in a game. Set a team up to win matches and have 3 or 4 fall back plans of it isn’t working. Something that involves more than sideways passing in midfield.

Is Greenwood being dumped now? He doesn’t appear in any of those teams

Oh and I’ve never suggested he “change it up”. Change it. Definitely. Never change it up, or swap it out or any other Americanism.

Greenwood would be in must starting line ups for me. He’s a huge talent.

Yes. He’s a prospect as yet rather than a finished model so doesn’t yet deserve to be an automatic starter if we do get a proper wide left player.
Don’t forget he’s only started playing anywhere near his best again towards the end of the season due to personal development etc. He can come in for Rashford if he turns in anything less than 100% performances or maybe to rest Cavani because he’s another year older now.
It’s always great to have the options available in your squad.

Has anyone been following the series of Skybet videos "Micah and Roy's Road To Wembley" at all? scratchchin

The last one dropped yesterday and it's so unbelievably funny, the two of them are genuinely good together for sure. Last one is the best but the other four are well worth catching up on, it's more talk of United than City of course.

Lukaku showing how good he really is when he gets the right medical insight into his weight issues. Exceptional performance today

I see united are trying to improve their offer for Sancho by including more potential ''success'' based clauses... that's a very shrewd move for ultimately keeping the price paid down biggrin

Imagine having a season like Shaw has and then see a right back starting in your spot…

He must be gutted. Insane decision. Also playing 2 DMS against Croatia is a sign of the times. Play for 0-0 every game.

I’m an outsider with this as not English and quite happy. I want all our players to have a nice rest over summer. Let the other teams tire their players out.

Philips is an impressive player - worth an offer?

They put him on a diet and got him to train more. So pretty much what I said!
