Two years in a row we win at Old Trafford. Never would have happened under Sir Alex Ferguson.

With one of Griezmann/Lacazette possibly going to Chelsea this summer according to multiple sources, do you think Mourinho would play a 2 striker system?

It would be cool to see:

Lacazette - Costa

Hazard - Fabregas - Willian

Matic

Back 4

In a 4-1-3-2, but I have some concerns.

Matic is a very capable DM but can he dominate the midfield by himself? I suspect Willian/Hazard would be tracking back even more in this system.

Can Cesc be as effective in that advanced position? I prefer to see him next to Matic but necessity would move him forward.

Guess United didn't have enough attackers.

To be fair United currently have no performing center forwards.

I'll be interested to see if they deploy Depay down the middle or on the wings.

According to multiple reports Depay has joined Man Utd. Great move IMO. All I hope for is that he can adjust to English football better than Di Maria did.

Difference is, Depay is a good player. Di Maria has been sitting on his reputation for years and isn't worth 1/4 of the fee United paid for him. They'd have been better off signing a Chinese guy for £60m and at least making some money off his back. He'd have contributed just as much on the pitch as di Maria anyway.

What are the odds that the Spanish title goes to the final day when the league is suspended?

Many Real Madrid fans credit Di Maria as the catalyst for winning La Decima.

He was world class last year. It was an overpayment on United's part, but to say he was coasting is a farce.

Oh man, another di Maria scenario. Putting a winger in the middle? Van Gaal would be nuts to do that again.

Anyways, Spanish league GET REKTTT

He has been deployed as a center forward by PSV and done well I believe.
