No room for Depay – how United could line up with £107m triple signing before the deadline.
A look at Manchester United’s best XI for the new season if Louis van Gaal can complete an awesome £107m triple swoop before the transfer deadline.
GK: Sergio Romero
Replacing David de Gea as number one, Argentine goalkeeper Sergio Romero should become first choice at Old Trafford this season.
DR: Matteo Darmian
An excellent signing at right-back, Italian international Matteo Darmian has been brought in to replace Rafael, who has left for Lyon.
DL: Luke Shaw
A promising youngster who should get more games this season, Luke Shaw looks United’s best bet at left-back in 2015/16.

DC: Nicolas Otamendi
A world class defender wanted in a £36m move from Valencia, Nicolas Otamendi should be brought in in the coming weeks after months of speculation that he’s United’s top target for that position.
DC: Daley Blind
Moved into the centre this season, Daley Blind could be the first choice to partner Otamendi in a new-look back four.
DM: Morgan Schneiderlin
In the deepest midfield role, defensive ace Morgan Schneiderlin looks a great buy from Southampton as he takes a place in the team.
MC: Bastian Schweinsteiger
A little further forward is former Bayern Munich man Bastian Schweinsteiger, who is an exciting summer purchase for just £15m.
MC: Juan Mata
Moved into a more central role than usual, Spanish playmaker Juan Mata takes a creative midfield spot for the Red Devils.
FR: Pedro
Lining up on the right flank is likely to be Barcelona winger Pedro, who will join United for around £22m this week after lengthy talks, possibly keeping Depay out of his preferred position.
FL: Kevin De Bruyne
Linked with a stunning £50m move to Old Trafford, Kevin De Bruyne could also join up front in an amazing new-look attack, leaving Depay on the bench and more as a player for the future.
FC: Wayne Rooney
Moved up front this season, Wayne Rooney leads the line for United and should score plenty with this quality around him.
