7Ed Woodward is set to give Solskjaer a huge transfer budget with which to transform UnitedAfter a meek end to the season, Europa League football is heading back to Old Trafford.The next two months will be crucial for the ‘Baby Faced Assassin’ as he attempts to rebuild his fragmented squad.Paul Pogba’s future in the north-west seems to be growing murkier everyday, with Real Madrid and Zinedine Zidane poised to pounce.Should the World Cup winner depart, expect David De Gea’s future come under intense scrutiny once again.

7The futures of both De Gea and Pogba remain extremely uncertainAnother Real Madrid target, Spain’s No.1 had an indifferent season and reports suggest there are a number of targets being lined up to replace the shot-stopper.The departures of both men before the transfer window slams shut on August 8 would certainly cause the already inflated transfer budget to swell to almost insurmountable levels.Barcelona shot-stopper Jasper Cillessen is reportedly on the Red Devils’ shortlist to replace De Gea, should the former Atletico Madrid keeper return to Spain.Likewise, Pogba’s possible departure could mean Newcastle United wonderkid Sean Longstaff is brought in.

7Sean Longstaff may have convinced United chiefs to make a moveWhile plenty may scoff at the thought of the flamboyant Frenchman being replaced by the 21-year-old from the Toon, Solskjaer has already reiterated his desire to bring in hard-working players so as to change the ethos of the club.The Red Devils have also been linked with moves for two of the best players plying their trade in Italy. Kalidou Koulibaly has been linked with a move for some time now, with Jose Mourinho even reportedly considering a bid during his time in charge.And the revelation Paulo Dybala is ready to leave Juventus has seemingly shunted United straight to the front of the queue.After a spectacular campaign in both the Eredivisie and the Champions League, Hakim Ziyech is reportedly on Solskjaer’s radar with German publication Bild reporting a move could be made in the summer. So how on earth could these superstars gel together at United next season?Taking into account the possible departures of Pogba and De gea, talkSPORT.com have created a *potential* starting XI for Manchester United for next season.Scroll to see how we believe the Red Devils
could line up next season!
DEFENCE

7Kalidou Koulibaly has been a rock at the back for Napoli since joining the club in 2014With Cillessen in between the sticks in place of De Gea, United have a solid (albeit not spectacular) No.1. But the real strength would lie in front of the Netherlands shot-stopper.Crystal Palace wonderkid Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been linked after a tremendous debut season and would fit in seamlessly alongisde Koulibaly in a full-back role.Victor Lindelof is slowly but surely developing into the player Unietd fans hoped he would and looks set to continue his development. While Player of the Year Luke Shaw will be desperate to claim back his England spot after missing out on the Nations League Finals.
MIDFIELD
7Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says McTominay is ‘a young midfielder who is constantly improving’As mentioned previously, Solskjaer’s dedication to finding grafters should see Longstaff slip right in next to academy graduate Scott McTominay.The Scotland international has a big future ahead of him and earned praise for his displays against Barcelona and for adding goals to his repertoire.For those who scoff at what seem to be an industrious midfield, remember the Champions League Final sees Eric Dier and Jordan Henderson pitted against one another.
ATTACK

7Martial and Rashford were devastating together when played up front in 2016With Dybala seamlessly slotting into the No.10 role, United could have one of the most formidable attacks in Europe.Up front, Anthony Martial needs confidence and the support of his teammates to restore his belief. Both he and Marcus Rashford were devastating in 2016 when given regular game time by Louis van Gaal.The introduction of Ziyech would certainly benefit the Red Devils as the Ajax forward can play from the right and interchange with Dybala for the attacking midfield position. Here’s how this incredible team might look next season.
