Pic: How Manchester United would look if they actually signed everyone they were linked with

Strength in numbers

Robert Redmond

This pictorial evidence that you shouldn’t take every transfer rumour you hear too serious.

Players are linked with Manchester United all the time, from the obvious links, such as Morgan Schneiderlein, an established player reportedly looking to move who plays in a position United need reinforcement.

To the highly unlikely, like Thomas Muller, to the dream move for United fans that won’t happen, like Cristiano Ronaldo.

Sorry United fans.

This picture shows what United’s team would look like if they actually signed all the players they are linked to. And if football’s rules were changed to accommodate 48 players.

The players’ in red are current squad members, and those alongside gold jersey’s are the players United have been linked with recently.

United would line-out in an innovative 14-17-12 formation, with five goalkeepers, and would be ready to take on the world.

David de Gea’s seemingly inevitable departure wouldn’t hurt United fans as much is they could still start four ‘keepers in his place.

Even David Moyes could lead this team to the Premier League title.
