How Bayern look set to line up in 2015/16…
With news that Bayern Munich have beaten Arsenal to the signing of Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal this summer, here’s a look at how they could be set to line up next season…
GK: Manuel Neuer
One of the best goalkeepers in the world, there’s no doubt about Manuel Neuer’s position as number one for Bayern Munich next season.
DR: Philipp Lahm
A superb right-back, Philipp Lahm will continue to lead Bayern and should be restored to his favoured position after a spell in midfield.
DL: Bernat
An exciting youngster who improves all the time, Bernat could be first choice at left-back next season.

DC: Mehdi Benatia
A superb signing from last summer, Mehdi Benatia has taken some time to settle at Bayern Munich but should remain a key part of the team for 2015/16.
DC: Dante
Linked with Manchester United earlier in the summer, Dante seems to be staying at the Allianz Arena for the new season.
DM: Xabi Alonso
Signed from Real Madrid last summer, Xabi Alonso has proven a great signing for the Bavarian giants and should continue as a starter in their midfield.
MC: Arturo Vidal
Slightly further forward in a midfield three, Arturo Vidal comes in as a direct replacement for Man United new-boy Bastian Schweinsteiger.
MC: Angel Di Maria
Possibly set to leave United this summer, Angel Di Maria has been strongly linked with Bayern as well as with PSG, and he’d be a great fit for the Bundesliga champions.
FR: Arjen Robben
Still a world class winger, Arjen Robben should keep his place on the right flank for Pep Guardiola’s side next season.
FL: Douglas Costa
Already signed from Shakhtar Donetsk this summer, Bayern beat Chelsea to Brazilian winger Douglas Costa, who could be a long-term replacement for Franck Ribery.
FC: Thomas Muller
With Robert Lewandowski unconvincing and possibly leaving, it seems likely that Thomas Muller could have a new striker’s role at Bayern next season.
