I wish Man U could buy youngsters and actually develop them.

Still dont get the point of Perez getting Kylian when he already has a jewel on the left. With Benz, that would be 3 dudes hogging the center/left, not sure how this will work. And if they get Haaland on top of that

Ancelotti favourite formation is 442 it's just he will adapt to the players he has. A 4231 works to fit everyone in but you either got to tell Mbrappe he's going to the right or move Vini Jr there or have a rotating/switching wing throughout the game.

You need to check your football handbook again. He was never that. Enganche yes Trequartista no. They might be the same position on the pitch but they are different responsibilities.

Are you saying 4231 works with Haaland ? Even with Benz as a 10, there is 0 balance

And Vini on the right is a waste, he needs to cut inside same as Benz, same as Kylian. Kylian pushed hard to stay on the left in PSG but will occasionally drift to the right if he's the lone striker which he wont be. I dont see this working unless you drop Benz or Vini and they are absolute starters this season.

Pepe's confidence must be completely shot.

Fati byke.

Fati needs to be a full time striker

I was thinking that watching some of the first half. Even Hazard (as flabby as he is now) operates best in that left channel coming in. It's just an overload lol. What options do they have on the right?

How's Demebele looking?
