Starting XI and formation with squad as it stands...

Now the proper games start, if everyone was fit/available (other than long termers shaw and rojo)

4-3-3:

dave

valencia bailly lindelof darmian

matic
herrera........pogba

mkhi.... lukaku ....martial

Rashers is the tough one to leave out there....

Can't see Martial or lindelof starting tbh

Rashford for Martial and that's the lineup imo.

Don't agree with that at all

Matic has immediately stabilised the midfield and you could see Pogba was able to push on and play further forward

Lukaku offers so much more than Ibra. Similar strength but allows us to stretch teams and offers us much more movement

Lindelof might take a few months to settle in

Mikhi and Pogba are into their second seasons and will be superb this season and now have the licence to be the players they are with Matic in there

look at the problem areas.

left full back, still offering £#%&! all going forward. lindelof won't hit the ground running so we're stuck with Jones.

Hererra is decent but im sure there are better midfielders out there. Its not going to win the CL or title is it imo. We desperately need another winger.

Definitely need another wide player. We need to convert last years draws into wins and Lukaku, Pogba and Mikhi will do that this year.
I think Herrera (as much as I love him) could be left out of certain games so Mikhi can play centrally

I still think our default formation for most games especially at home will be 4231

Mou will want to get that extra attacker on the pitch as it was our lack of goals last season that killed us
Until Lindelof starts showing he's ready this would be my team

De Gea
Valencia Bailly Jones Blind/Darmian (neither good enough)
Matic Pogba
Mata Micki Rashford
Lukaku

For the tougher games he'll either bring in an extra midfielder for a 433 or an extra defender for a 352
