How Manchester United could line-up if they sign Moussa Dembele this summer transfer window

How Manchester United could line-up if they sign Moussa Dembele this summer transfer window, according to the Daily Star. 

It’s clear that chief executive Ed Woodward and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will want to recruit a striker this summer to avoid the mistake ahead of the current campaign.

Their loan signing Odion Ighalo could have been that man, but recent reports suggest that a second loan from Shanghai Shenhua is unlikely.

That means United have needed to turn their attentions elsewhere and Lyon’s Moussa Dembele could be the man to bolster their attacking options.

Now the Daily Star have outlined the likely United line-up if they capture their man…

Back 5

De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is starting to build quite a solid back five now, after years of uncertainty at Old Trafford. Harry Maguire has been a huge boost for the Red Devils bringing leadership and a calmness to the defence of United. Solksjaer will also be delighted with how his fullbacks performed this season.

Midfield 3

Fred, Pogba, Fernandes.

United fans will be desperate to see both Paul Pogba and new signing Bruno Fernandes on the pitch together. Due to Pogba’s injury and Fernandes joining in January the two have not been able to build a partnership as of yet. However, with Fred’s emergence as a dependable defensive midfielder, this threesome could cause havoc in the Premier League.

Attacking 3

Martial, Dembele, Rashford.

This front three would frighten any defence in Europe and is simply a mouth-watering prospect for United fans. Both Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford have already shown they’re a great partnership, but when the goal-machine that is Dembele is thrown into the mix, this threesome could produce goals, goals, goals.
