I don't see why need one, we could just play Maguire there. Then just shift AWB to CB, put Young on RB and Martial could be LB

----------------DDG----------------
Young----AWB---Lindeløf---Martial
-----------McT-------Fred-----------
Rashford-------Pogba--------James
---------------Maguire--------------

It would add:
  • Some much needed pace to our back line, allowing us to press high up the pitch.
  • Creativity and attacking threat from our LB
  • Maguire wouldn't be so exposed for his lack of pace
    • His ball playing skills would get utilized
    • He could bully other CBs
    • Add aerial threat to our attack
    • Be our very own version of Harry Kane
In the long term we could also convert Lindeløf to DM and McT to CB, but baby steps.

I'd be surprised if it isn't Mandzukic, but I'd hope we have an agreement in place for Haland.

Looking forward with the muppet lenses on, I'd hope we could sell Sanchez, Mata & Pogba to be replaced by Haland, Sancho, and probably Eriksen.

We supposedly wanted him in the summer when it dawned on us that nobody actually wanted to come here.
I recall and was incensed that for all the talk of United ethos and the young and hungry marketing exercise we would even think to sign Mandzukic. A complete sham.

Anyway, let's see how this rumor plays out.

I hope he scores more than usual. All we need is someone who cannot create his own goals, because he will get sod all service.

If it is Ole the manager is a lying sack of garbage and ought to be booted from the club immediately.

Bizarre comments. Mandzukic would be cheap and would definitely improve us. Are you angry he's not British or angry that we signed 3 Brits in the summer?

Not bizarre..sensible. has nothing to do with his nationality, Christ's sake what a silly assumption. Mandzukic is 33, a target man and the next club he goes to will not be winning the league or champions league any time soon. That doesn't fit the young and hungry for success shit that United and Ole have been touting.

Right, well it's bizarre you've got so angry about it and it's bizarre you think it means the whole team should be comprised of children. It's also bizarre how you call it a 'complete sham' and 'shit' despite apparently believing it to an almost insane conclusion and ignoring that fact that barring De Gea and Pogba our best players are all in their early 20's and half of them were bought this summer. It's so bizarre I'm struggling to grasp your opinion of it other than 'Sack Ole' and little else so yeah, pretty bizarre.

Nope. Never even insinuated that. Read better next time.

Edited to be nicer..genuine question: is English your first language? Might explain the gap between what I'm saying and what you're picking up here.
