How Erik ten Hag Could Lineup At Manchester United Next Season:
Goalkeeper:
David de Gea is expected to continue in his starting role under Erik ten Hag next season. The Spanish stopper has improved massively this season. So, he can boost the team’s performance in 2022-2023, since he remains the No.1 goalkeeper.
Defense:
Erik ten Hag reportedly doesn’t want Harry Maguire next season. So, the defense line will revolve around Pau Torres and Raphael Varane, as centre-backs. While, Luke Shaw continues as a left-back and Diogo Dalot as a right-back.
Of course, Aaron Wan-bissaka could leave Old Trafford in the summer. Therefore, this defensive setup could be the Dutch gaffer’s starting back-four next season.
Midfield:
Manchester United are still hell-bent on bringing Declan Rice to Old Trafford. So, if they sign him in the summer’s transfer window. He will play as a single defensive midfielder. While, Bruno Fernandes and Donny Van de Beek will play as double box-to-box and deep-lying midfielders.
Attack:
Cristiano Ronaldo will continue at Manchester United next season. If the club doesn’t sign a new striker, because Edinson Cavani is leaving. So, Jadon Sancho will start from the left-wing and Antony from the right-wing.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo will continue as a striker. Because he can produce effectively from the position. So, the likes of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Elanga will start from the bench.
Good Line up
