If he leaves we have someone In Midfield already lined up, Matic? Renato Sanches?
We are very light in midfield as it is so lets just wait and see.

Strange that Axel seems the one that might end up in midfield, always had TFM down as the one most likely of the two to end up there.Probably Axel will be shifted to midfield as another option. He played there a few times last season and looked very decent, the passing and composure are there to see
Are they getting him a bike to do that? Shuttle around
Why? Surely Matic, Carrick and Pereira is enough cover for one CDM spot?If we are about to sell him then we already have two midfielders lined up, if not it would be criminal mismanagement.
Matic and one more is my guess.
Mis-read it as "shuffle" for a second. That would be fair!"Shuttle around midfield" - shhhhh! Nobody tell him FFS!!
Of course we are.We are definitely going to sign a midfielder if we let Fellaini go.
How about cover and rotation for the b2b spot? We saw how knackered Pogba and Herrera were at the business end of last season.Why? Surely Matic, Carrick and Pereira is enough cover for one CDM spot?
If all three of them get injured and we have to get an academy player in, well that's bad luck.
Most of us said we're desperate for a deep midfielder already, so it makes sense if you shift another midfielder to replace them too.Why? Surely Matic, Carrick and Pereira is enough cover for one CDM spot?

Even with Fellaini we would be a little short on numbers.Pogba, Herrera, Perreira (untested), Carrick (36) and Matic (?) would be a bit on the light side for a team at times playing 4-3-3 and competing on all fronts.
You could tell our squad was knackered last season from all the games, and the midfield especially so.
Only Matic is my guess.If we are about to sell him then we already have two midfielders lined up, if not it would be criminal mismanagement.
Matic and one more is my guess.
Our underperforming star players epitomize the downfall much moreThat fact that people consider such poor players to be acceptable squad players shows how low we've fallen, yes.
Again Blind Isn't a midfielder... Played three seasons here and had been tried once. If Fellaini leaves we need two cm.Moving Blind to midfield and getting rid of Fellaini would be an instant large upgrade in my view.
No it wouldn't. This bizarre thought that Blind is great in midfield is weird. He played there his first season, was thoroughly uninspired then replaced by Fellaini for the second half of the season who was great.Moving Blind to midfield and getting rid of Fellaini would be an instant large upgrade in my view.
I'm not sure we do.Again Blind Isn't a midfielder... Played three seasons here and had been tried once. If Fellaini leaves we need two cm.
If he leaves I can see us signing that kid from Anderlecht and Perisic..I'm not sure we do.
Lukaku, Martial and Persic are a good front three. Rashord, Mata and Mkhitaryan are able deputies/replacements.
Lingard can then transition into midfield as cover for Pogba. He's played there a few times and offers a lot in the role. Probably more than he does on the wing. As much as anything, it'll be his running that Perisic would replace.
Behind them, Herrera, Carrick, Pereira + AN Other will be enough. Tuanzebe can step in in a crisis.
