How Man Utd Could Line Up Next Season, 3 Stars Added!
06 July, 2021
Having already signed Jadon Sancho for a remarkable R1.4 billion, and with reports suggesting they are close to two more major signings, here is how Manchester United could line up next season!
This transfer window could be a busy one for United, who, despite having been English champions on 20 occasions in history, have spent the large part of the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era in the shadows of their Premier league rivals.
Sancho's expensive arrival from Borussia Dortmund at €85 million has already been confirmed, but the Red Devils seem to already be looking at other positions that require strengthening.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, United have stepped up their pursuit of Real Madrid and France centre-back Raphael Varane, and midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, whom many consider to be among the best young players in the world.
If the club did secure his services from Stade Rennes, he would feature in midfield, perhaps alongside compatriot Paul Pogba in a double-pivot. Camavinga is known to be a smart and tricky dribbler, although it is the left-footer's work off the ball that highlights his ability.
The 18-year-old is a tireless runner and strong in the tackle, which means he would probably be used in deep positions where he can stop opponents from playing and start attacks himself.
As he carries the ball forward, Camavinga would likely thrive having Bruno Fernandes ahead of him, with Marcus Rashford offering him an option on the left side of the front-three and Sancho on the opposite flank.
With the creativity of the midfielders and wide men, along with the overlapping Luke Shaw at left-back, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer might want a natural finisher up front, someone who would not need to drop deeper, but only play a poaching role in the opposition box.
The player best suited to this role in the current United side is probably Uruguayan forward Edinson Cavani, although he would face stiff competition in the form of Anthony Martial.
