Manchester United are now closing in on their new season, and Erik ten Hag will already have a good idea of his new starting XI.
The Red Devils have been busy in the USA of late, and they are now just two weeks away from kicking off their new season against Wolves at Old Trafford. United have already spent big to land Andre Onana and Mason Mount, while Rasmus Hojlund looks set to join that list. Ahead of the new season, there are questions over the system Ten Hag will use, and whether it will be a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1.
Here we take a look at the possible United starting XI for the season opener based on recent transfer news and rumours.
1. GK - Andre Onana
A big-money signing, Andre Onan is undoubtedly the new number one.
2. LB - Luke Shaw
Shaw likely has the edge over Tryell Malacia at the moment due to the latter’s injury this summer.
3. CB - Raphael Varane
Varane is United’s leader at the back.
4. CB - Lisandro Martinez
Martinez enjoyed an excellent first season at the club, and he will be be the starter alongside Varane.
