Mine recommendations to United as a freelancer scout. Players that will help United to become a better team and club.
Extern solutions:
+ RW/LW : Jadon Sancho, age 20 = around 100 £ mill
+ LW/RW/AMC = Federico Chiesa, age 22 = 50 £ mill. Has and good in everything with the attacking playing. Fast, skillful and hardworking player
+ CM = Jude Bellingham, soon 17 = 25 £ mill. Loan him back to Birmingham for a year, then back to United when Matic retire or leaving.
+ CM/DCM = Kristoffer Olsson, soon 25 = 25 £ mill. A hard working allround creative cm.
Trust me on this guy and Chiesa. United will not regret after buying Kristoffer Olsson. Top football vision, creative and passing foot. Quick and precise in head and feet. Olsson has the level of Bruno, Chiesa and Rashford. A regular central midfield general for the Swedish nation team. A Modric type of cm player and mould. He is one of the biggest reason why Sweden is still doing well without Zlatan. Got a spot in Euro 2020. He is controlling and dictating wherever he is playing. Will give United really good and flexible depth in central midfield area.
Here is the video link of him. Of his description:
And another positive point is. With Ollsson arriving, he will built a good connection and helping Lindelof as CB too. Have a player that he can deliver the pass to. A player that can control and dictate the game in front of the CBs.
Sum of spending plus & minus 200 £ mill
Intern solutions :
+ CB : Recall Chris Smalling
Then how you line up your extern and intern solutions?And here is theirs best positions on the pitch. And from what i have observed and analyzing United squad. 4231 and 442 are the formations that suit the new squad best. Again top team like United and City. A tight and aggressive 433/451 will suit too.
But first 4231 and 442 formation:
Bissaka/Dalot/Williams- Smalling/Lindelof/Bailly- Maguire/Jones/Tuanzebe - Williams/Shaw
Sancho/Chiesa - McTom/Fred/Matic/Olsson- Pogba/Olsson/Bruno - Chiesa/Sancho/James
AMC/Nr.10/Second CF = Bruno/Greenwood/Chiesa - Rashford/Martial
Then a potential 433/451 Line up against teams that might have more possession and the ball then United :
Same defend
Midfield 5 : Sancho - Bruno - Olsson - Pogba/McTom - Chiesa
CF = Rashford
There you have mine recommendations and where i would put them in United team, to strength and help United to become a better team. On a path to winning future big trophies.
Age of United squad. Give them 2-3 years and be patience and let them gel together. Maybe Liverpool is not as strong about 2/3 years time. So this new United are on their way up to the peak of their career.
Henderson = 23
Bissaka = 22
Maguire = 27
Lindelof = 25
Williams = 19
Sancho = 20
Olsson = 25
Bruno = 25
Pogba = 27
McTom = 23
Chiesa = 22
Rashford = 22
Martial = 24
Greenwood = 18
There are the age. Then we all can figure out with the new players arriving. When this squad will be at theirs strongest and peak. All between 2 - 4 years. So again, be patience with them. Let the gel, understand and become a strong unit. With same goal and direction = winning biggest trophies.
And the central spine with GK Henderson 23 - McTom 23 - Rashford 22. Then you adding really high quality and level in Bruno and Olsson at 25, and with Chiesa 22. You both look at short and longterm goal. Top 3/4 the next 2 years. Then premier league trophy after that.
So again. Those are mine best recommendations. I know and believe all of Sancho, Chiesa, Olsson, Bellingham and recalling Smalling back will strength United and make United become a better team. Much better that right now. Top 4 the next 5 seasons. And premier league title contender. Trust me. Those players have the qualities, abilities and mentalities United do need. They will lift United to the next and a level above. A more consistent really good football team
