GK: David de Gea
A player United fans will be hoping stays at Old Trafford and continues as number one, David de Gea starts in a stronger-looking backline.
DR: Nathaniel Clyne
Another addition at right-back, Nathaniel Clyne could come in from Southampton after long been linked with a move to the Red Devils.
DL: Daley Blind
Impressive at both left-back and midfield this season, Daley Blind makes sense as first choice in the defensive department next term. with Luke Shaw unconvincing.
DC: Mats Hummels
Another likely signing coming in, Mats Hummels could be about to join the club from Borussia Dortmund as Louis van Gaal desperately looks to improve his options in central defence.
DC: Marcos Rojo
Perhaps set to be first choice next year, Marcos Rojo has done well in his first season as a Manchester United player.
MC: Marouane Fellaini
Perhaps no signings in midfield necessary, with Marouane Fellaini looking good enough to continue in that role after his improved recent form.
MC: Ander Herrera
Another player impressing in recent times, Ander Herrera has had a good first season at Old Trafford and should remain first choice.
AMR: Memphis Depay
A terrific young winger, Memphis Depay will add goals and quality from out wide for United next season, looking an upgrade on players like Adnan Januzaj, Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia.
AML: Angel Di Maria
Still in the starting lineup, Angel Di Maria will surely have a much better second season with United after a slow start this year.
AMC: Juan Mata
Another improved player under van Gaal, Juan Mata looks good enough to remain the trusted number ten here, just behind the main striker.
FC: Wayne Rooney
Still first choice up front, Wayne Rooney should remain a key striker for United even if they do consider replacing Radamel Falcao and Robin van Persie.
