PIC: Would this potential United XI be good enough to challenge for the title?

How will United line up?

Will Slattery

Louis van Gaal will have some tough decisions to make.

There is plenty of time left before the new Premier League season starts, and even longer until the end of the transfer window, but there has still be plenty of change at Man United this summer.

Memphis Depay, Matteo Darmian, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin (almost) have all come in, while Robin van Persie has left the club.

It will be interesting to see how Louis van Gaal lines his side up at the start of the season, because throughout his first campaign as United boss he regularly changed formation and tactics.

Sky Sports News tweeted this potential team out today, and it manages to include all four of the club’s new signings.

Would United fans be pleased with that XI? It is a little redundant to pick a starting side now since Di Maria and de Gea might be leaving while the Red Devils will almost certainly bring in another striker to replace van Persie.

Regardless, after bringing in a host of new players for two consecutive summers, United supporters will expect a more cohesive unit this year.
