DC: Chris Smalling
With no signings in central defence, it looks like Chris Smalling will be United’s main defensive leader this season.
DC: Daley Blind
Moving centrally after playing a number of different roles last season, the versatile Daley Blind could prove a wise choice in this position.
MC: Morgan Schneiderlin
A superb signing from Southampton, Morgan Schneiderlin has made a great start to life at United and will surely continue as the team’s main defensive midfielder.
MC: Hakan Calhanoglu
Linked with a £26m deadline day move to Old Trafford, Bayer Leverkusen starlet Hakan Calhanoglu is a potentially world class playmaker and set-piece specialist who’d fit in superbly in Van Gaal’s side.
