DDG
Valencia - Smalling (2014) - Maguire - Telles
Matic (2017)- Pogba (2017)
Rashford- Bruno- ADM
Martial (last year)
With how we play now that lineup is a potential league winner tbh. Telles over Shaw for his quality going forward and on the ball. Smalling in his best year for us brings the physicality and pace to cover Maguire. Matic was fantastic early on for us before being run into the ground by Jose, but provides a great shield for Pogba to go forward. Rashford and Bruno on current form are obvious, and ADM around these players would be dynamite, as much as I hate the rat. Martial was our best player last year, and carried us post lockdown in his breakout season as a 9. He's useless on current form, but was unplayable in those games over the summer. I could be tempted to put him on the left with Ibra up top, but I would just want to see this lineup because it would be unplayable on the counter, and feels like we could still break teams down without being exposed defensively as well.
