Currently

• GK - De Gea is amazing, Romero is a very good backup.

• RB - Darmian doesn't offer enough attacking threat. Varela good enough, needs to improve defending, bulk up.

• RCB - Smalling is reaching the world class level but we don't have a back up. Jones has a very high potential and hopefully he can stay injury free next season.

• LCB - Rojo is good but is being used more as a LB because of Shaw's injury. Blind is amazing in terms of reading the game and ball playing but not fast enough.

• LB - Shaw - fucked! CBJ - beautiful crosses, shown very good signs, hopefully features a lot next season.

• CDM - Schneiderlin doesn't have the passing range of Carrick, Carrick doesn't have the mobility of Schneiderlin.

• CM - Fellaini is a decent player when played as a target man but in the midfield he gets overrun, gives away too many fouls. Schweinsteiger is amazing as a CM and a leader but is aging, injury prone and slowing down.

• CAM - Mata seems to do shit for 9 matches and produce a brilliant performance in 1 match. Very one footed to play in the final four. Herrera is good and a leader but seems to misplace many passes (compared to Mata), draws too many fouls.

• RW - Lingard is good enough because of his work rate and off the ball movement but needs to improve his finishing (a lot). Januzaj is inconsistent, low on confidence, needs to bulk up.

• LW - Martial is amazing but needs to work on his long range shooting, seems to miss headers when 1 on 1. Memphis is inconsistent and currently unable to do his thing against proper defences.

• ST - Rooney is a vocal leader, adds fighting spirit but is aging. We saw he shit he was in the first few months, although when he is on form, he is the only world class player other than De Gea and Schweinsteiger. Rashford is good but not good enough yet. Martial (mentioned above).

Comments

I am just throwing names based on rumours and potential. Take it with a grain of salt.

Buy:

• GK (if De Gea leaves) : Mattia Perin or Lloris

• RB / RCB : Marquinhos

• LCB : Laporte

• CM : Renato Sanches (Sell Fellaini)

• CAM : James Rodriguez (Sell Mata)

• RW : Who knows? Bale? Mahrez?

• ST: This seems tough, but if we are gonna phase out aging Rooney, we shouldn't buy an already aged Ibrahimovic. Martial should play as the striker.

TLDR:

Our squad is shit at the moment. We failed with Moyes, we are failing with LVG and we most likely will fail again because we lack quality in our team. Ed should deliver this summer or else whoever our manager is, be it LVG / Mourinho / Giggs, things will still stay as they are. Because Individual quality decides matches while formation, philosophy are all secondary.
