I could see us not spending a ton next year in the midfield.
-McTominay out, new DM and Sabitzer in.
#10: Bruno (Eriksen, Sancho)
#8: Sabitzer (Eriksen, Fred, Mainoo)
#6: Casemiro (DM, Sabitzer)
looks about right, and we'll have Eriksen or Sabitzer to come off the bench when the other one starts, Fred will get games at some point when Bruno, Eriksen or Sabitzer are unavailable, and we'd have proper cover for Casemiro. Eriksen for the games where we're probably bossing it, and Sabitzer when we need more fight in there and want Eriksen to come on against tired legs and be as influential off the bench as Giggs was when he and Chicharito were so good off the bench that one year.
and Iqbal and Hannibal get Champo loans. Mainoo stays because he's so young that training with the first team, playing with the reserve team and getting a few cup games is fine at his age.
