Manchester United dream XI if they sign top targets: Neymar alongside £145m duo up front, plus Chelsea target in defence

A best-possible XI for Manchester United this season, with Neymar in star-studded front three.

A look at the best-possible team Manchester United could field this season if they land all of their hugely ambitious transfer targets, including Neymar in a front three that would seriously rival the ‘MSN’ combination at Barcelona…

GK: Hugo Lloris

A world class goalkeeper, Tottenham star Hugo Lloris is perhaps the best player being linked as a replacement for Real Madrid target David de Gea.

DR: Matteo Darmian

Signed from Torino earlier this summer, Matteo Darmian has made a great start to life at Old Trafford and could be first choice right-back for years to come.

DL: Luke Shaw

An exciting young talent, Luke Shaw seems to be really coming into his own this season and should be set to be United’s left-back for the next decade or more.

DC: John Stones

Also wanted by Chelsea, £40m Everton starlet John Stones would be a superb signing in defence after failed attempts for Sergio Ramos and Nicolas Otamendi.

DC: Daley Blind

Moved to centre-back this season, Daley Blind has had a solid start in his new role, with United keeping three clean sheets in their first three league games.

DM: Morgan Schneiderlin

One of the best defensive midfielders in Europe last season, Morgan Schneiderlin has started well at Old Trafford and looks a great buy.

MC: Bastian Schweinsteiger

Not yet at his best in a United shirt, Bastian Schweinsteiger should become a top class signing given time to settle after his move from Bayern Munich.

MC: Juan Mata

In a deeper central midfield role, Juan Mata looks best suited as part of the midfield three here to make way for new additions up top.

FR: Gareth Bale

Possibly costing £95m, Gareth Bale of Real Madrid remains one of United’s priority targets after missing out on Pedro.

FL: Neymar

Valued at a staggering £137.8m, Barcelona forward Neymar could also join the club this summer after hinting he’d be interested in the move.

FC: Thomas Muller

Completing an unbelievable front three, £50m Bayern Munich striker Thomas Muller could lead the line here in a legendary attack that could achieve great things in the game.
