Manchester United: How Solskjaer could lineup next season
By Kian Long
Right wing-back: Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Aaron Wan-Bissaka is one of the best defensive full-backs around at the moment and he will certainly transcend his good form into the new season. He is simply a solid addition so there is no chance he will lose his place in the starting XI, even with the latest formation switch.
Centre midfield: Bruno Fernandes
Bruno Fernandes was the best player in the Premier League last season after he arrived, although frustratingly it was only for a month or two before the season was called to a halt. He was a great attacking influence for United and he scored twice and provided three assists during the time, so Manchester United have certainly found their replacement for Paul Pogba.
Centre midfield: Nemanja Matic
This position will undeniably be rotated between Fred and Nemanja Matic, but I can’t help but give this one to Matic. Especially given the youthful feel to this United side, Solskjaer will benefit from having one or two senior players in the starting lineup.
Matic is great at dictating the play in midfield and he’s certainly not lost this role with Fernandes’ introduction since the two midfielders can work together very nicely.
Left wing-back: Brandon Williams
The 19-year-old Brandon Williams was a key member of United’s starting XI before Covid-19 put a halt on the season. That said, he will be one of the players that immensely benefits from the league’s return as he hopes to persuade Solskjaer to start him next season too. I’m sure he will have no problems doing so if his form continues.
