A look at how Solskjaer could shape the Manchester United squad next term.

Manchester United have had a relatively good season this time out, as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer helped to regain some of the form he showed when he was first unveiled as manager. Of course, now that the Premier League season is confirmed to be back underway, United’s focus will be on breaking into that top four ahead of Chelsea.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was once confident that United could “explot” the transfer market, but now they have to be more realistic as it approaches and the Coronavirus situation is doing the club no favours.

Anyway, here’s how I think Manchester United will lineup in the new season.

Goalkeeper: Dean Henderson

This just makes perfect sense to me. With the Euros approaching in the summer of 2021, Dean Henderson will either want to be starting for Manchester United or elsewhere, and the Red Devils simply can’t afford to let his potential go to waste, so they must give him what he wants.

This does mean the likelihood of selling David de Gea increases, but this transfer market isn’t the time for sentimentality. De Gea has been declining for some seasons now, so the best thing for United to do is sell the Spaniard and keep ahold of Henderson.
