Manchester United XI for opening day of the season: Di Maria & De Gea SOLD, £56m duo START after late signings

Posted by

DM: Morgan Schneiderlin

Brought in from Southampton, Morgan Schneiderlin will almost certainly go straight into United’s starting lineup for the game against Tottenham.

MC: Juan Mata

In a slightly deeper role than previously, Juan Mata seems likely to start as part of a midfield three in Louis van Gaal’s new 4-3-3 formation.

MC: Bastian Schweinsteiger

Another exciting summer buy, Bastian Schweinsteiger should be in line to make his Red Devils debut in the game against Spurs.

FR: Memphis Depay

Starting wide on the right in a front three, Memphis Depay is an exciting prospect after joining from PSV this summer and should quickly become a regular.

FL: Pedro

Replacing Angel Di Maria, Pedro looks set to come in from Barcelona in a £22m deal, and there’s no doubt the pacey and prolific Spaniard would quickly be first choice for the Reds.

FC: Wayne Rooney

Starting as a striker, Wayne Rooney should be used up front more often this season and will be hoping to continue to find the back of the net for the club.
