So...as things stand right now, what is your starting XI (& subs) for the first day of the season?

Valencia-------Carrick-------Anderson

Rooney------Berbatov

Owen

Not for me, i much prefer him to be pulling strings in the hole.

Look at the way he plays for England...he runs riot!!

Sometimes I prefer him there, sometimes I like to see him getting right up front and causing centrebacks nightmares with his pace and strength.

Anderson can't play that position from what i've seen.

Ah but maybe he can though?

Maybe he can play in net too.

Lets try that out.

He can't though. Seriously, anytime he's tried it he's been dogshit. He needs too much space.

Oh I know, I don't think he'd be much of a keeper either.

depends how wide he's asked to play. if he's able to come into the centre with evra providing the width i think he'll be fine. he did play on the left quite a bit for porto, iirc.

Until he got his injury and changed his game completely

That wasn't him, that was his long lost attack minded slim brother.

our usual formation, good to see

that team will hopefully be very close a few times next season, but we've got plenty of options on personnel and tactics

I believe so.

Tbh the squad doesn't look too bad...easy for this forum to drag you down

Goalkeepers and defence are pretty much okay as we all know.

Midfielders:

Hargreaves
Anderson
Giggs
Carrick
Scholes
Fletcher

Wingers/attacking mid:

Tosic
Park
Nani
Valencia
Obertan
Ljajic (from jan)

And then Rooney, Berbatov, Owen, Macheda, and Welbeck as options up front. And of course we have some promising youngsters coming through, Petrucci etc.

One more signing and our squad would look strong?
