One for the formation guys. Let's presume we sign Maguire, and sign up De Gea that's our defense sorted. If we were to get Bruno and Dybala and still working on presumptions here, Pogba stays, how can we see us lining out? Is it possible to fit all the above in and still give game time to Chong and Mason. Sanchez may yet come good and with a bit of luck get a bit of Rythm going. Can we make it work without signing an out and out right wing player? I can see Bruno suiting the high press game we appear to be heading toward as he's a very lively energetic player but can't see Dybala doing much tracking back. Would love to hear peoples opinions. I for one am happy with the way we seem to be heading and although early days and still work to be done transfer wise we seem to at least have a goal in mind. there's a bit less doom and gloom about and I'm quietly excited for the coming season.

On paper, it will be a top class improvement from last season.

There is the Europa League to give the kids game time. One or two kids per a Europa League game.

Being a MU fan for 30 years now, I don't see everything running that smoothly. Has it ever during a transfer window?

Is the Dybaba thing to get Inter to cough up more money? Real usually get their man and Pogba wants out. Probably best he goes before he sulks.

I think DDG will stay, I think we will end up with Maguire and one of Milinkovic-Savic or Bruno. Maybe both if Pogba is sold. We will see.

I think Ole will stick with 4-2-3-1. Pogba and McTominay as the midfield pair, Dybala behind Rashford, Martial left and Bruno Fernandes starting on the right. It’ll be fluid though and width provided by the fullbacks.

I don’t think Bruno and Dybala work, Bruno is better higher up the pitch and Dybala plays predominantly as a second striker.

I don't see us buying both dybala and bruno.

Cant Dybala play as a RW. We might sign both but would have thought he'd be used to see Pogba go the other way, not lukaku.

I still think lukaku goes to Inter.

Angel, no he can't, well not in a more effective way than both Mata and Lingard have done for us. Dybala is a CF and if we push him out wide it is just another plaster over the RW position.

Maybe the diamond with McTominay as the holding mid Pogba and Fernandes in the centre and Dybala at the head of the diamond with Martial and Rashford up top and able to drift into the wider areas.

I can't see how both fit into the system he has used in preseason however.

Ah okay wazza. I'm sure he is also capable of playing RW.

Ed002 also had him down as playing there?

Maybe I'm wrong and have been watching the wrong player.

{Ed001's Note - he usually plays from the right for Juve.}

Dybala has often been used as a Right side forward. I get the impression ole wants to play with a fluid front 4 that can interchange positions within a game.

Dybala, Fernandes, Martial and Rashford are all capable of playing in any position up front.

You are correct.
You get posters on here telling people that players play in certain positions that don't play there at all. Amature analysts that know very little but people believe them. Saying he doesn't suit this or that or plays in same areas as someone else. Yet they have never seen the players train or play very much. Of course none of these regular experts have any job in football amazingly enough
Too much hyberbole.

I thought that too ed001 which would tick a box for us if he does come. I think he has the capacity to interchange and be fluid, another box.

However, I'm unsure as to whether a) he really wants to come and b) if he has the work rate to really fit in the league. Question Mark's over both.

{Ed001's Note - I would steer well clear even if he was a free transfer asking for wages of £50 a week personally.}

That's pretty emphatic ed.

{Ed001's Note - yep.}

Dybala does often play wide right for Juve currently but his best position his central, he scores all sorts of goals from a central position. Ronaldo arrived and since being pushed out wide his form has dipped massively.

Who played cf at juve before ronaldo arrived? Just check the stats wazza or were you an avid watcher of juve 24 or 18 months ago.
