No room for Rooney in Man Utd’s best XI if they sign their top targets – best squad in Europe?
A look at how Manchester United could line up next season if they sign all their top targets this summer, with spending possibly set to reach £290m if they bring in who they want, with cash raised from sales of big names like David de Gea, Angel Di Maria and Robin van Persie…
GK: Sergio Romero
A free transfer to replace David de Gea, Sergio Romero is supposedly in talks over a move to Old Trafford and looks a smart addition as the club’s new number one.
DR: Matteo Darmian
Already signed for £13m from Torino, Matteo Darmian is sure to be first choice at right-back next season, with Rafael leaving for Galatasaray for around £12m.
DL: Luke Shaw
A signing from last summer, Luke Shaw should get another chance to impress in 2015/16 after a slow start to life at United.

Manchester United rumours
DC: Nicolas Otamendi
Targeted in a £35m move from Valencia, Argentine centre-back Nicolas Otamendi looks the most realistic option for the club at the back as other targets Sergio Ramos and John Stones look like slipping away.
DC: Marcos Rojo
Another buy from last year, Marcos Rojo should be first choice in 2015/16 after a decent start to life in the Premier League.
MC: Morgan Schneiderlin
Signed for £25m from Southampton, Morgan Schneiderlin looks an excellent addition in the middle of the park and will surely be a regular in Louis van Gaal’s starting XI.
MC: Bastian Schweinsteiger
First choice if fit, Bastian Schweinsteiger has joined for £15m from Bayern Munich and looks a hugely exciting purchase, providing quality and experience to this team.
AMR: Memphis Depay
Signed for £30m from PSV, Memphis Depay is an oustanding young talent who should go straight into this United starting lineup.
AML: Gareth Bale
Targeted in an epic £95m move from Real Madrid, Gareth Bale is still on United’s agenda this summer and could add real world class quality to the attack if he replaces the underperforming Di Maria.
AMC: Thomas Muller
Just behind the main striker, £50m-rated Bayern star Thomas Muller could also be on his way to England this summer and would surely keep even Wayne Rooney out of the starting lineup.
FC: Robert Lewandowski
With Van Persie and Falcao leaving, £30m-rated Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski is being linked as yet another big name coming in to Old Trafford.
