Having spent more than £160m last summer, José Mourinho has dialled down the Red Devils spending this summer. In comparison, they’ve spent £101.75m, but alas the transfer window is still young, and United are still chasing other transfer targets.
Fans will be expecting the Red Devils to finish in a better position than 6th like last season. This pressure will force José to alter his thinking about his current squad in line with the potential replacements he has on the cards.
Here’s how the most successful club in English history could line up in a 4-3-3 next season.
8Centre-Back: Victor Lindelöf
After months of speculation, Manchester United officially signed Victor Lindelöf early this summer. The Swede looks set to be a direct replacement for Chris Smalling, who José Mourinho has been openly critical of. Lindelöf will now form a rock solid partnership with Bailly, a partnership that will exude athleticism, power and aerial dominance.
