Would like to open a discussion about this to get everyone's thoughts on starting 11, formations, basic tactics, etc. Let's assume we end up with Zlatan and maybe one or two more signings but lets not go overboard. I'll start it up with my thoughts...would love others to pipe in

De Gea- A new GK coach...he's only getting better...

Valencia, Smalling, Varane?, Shaw- I think Valencia really showed his worth the last few weeks. Mou won't play a winger who won't track back consistently, and knowing this will allow Tony V to continue bombing down the right. I know we've been rumored with Varane so if he comes in I could see him and Smalling forming a decent little partnership at the back. A healthy Shaw will also really thrive in Mou's system as he loves getting forward as well.

Morgan, Rooney?- I see Morgan really playing well under Mou. He'll get the Matic role from Chelsea where he'll mainly be responsible for breaking up the other team's play. I think he had trouble in LvG's system, but will improve next season. I think Rooney takes on the Fabregas role from 2014/15. Starting a little deeper but more of a box to box player. Rooney was definitely showing signs of life in the middle the last few weeks as well so hopefully the summer does him well.

New RW (although I could actually see Ashley Young doing really well in Mou's system given his time as an outside back with LvG), Herrera, Martial- I think Herrera and Rooney will both kind of interchange as box to box players, but Ander's energy will definitely fit in the system. Martial. No description really needed. He's gonna be essential for our counter attacks. The one thing I worry about a bit is the defensive duties Mourinho will require of him, but Ronaldo dealt with it, Hazard dealt with it, Robben dealt so I think Tony Martial will be fine.

Zlatan (Rashford)- Zlatan will no doubt be preferred, but I think Rashford will definitely still be used. At 34 and new to the PL no way Ibra plays 90 week in week out. Rashford is a prototypical Mourinho striker aside from his age.

Bench: Blind- will still play a part here and there in the back and potentially midfield Carrick- if he's back Mou will use his experience and calmness in certain games I imagine Memphis- Actually think he'll do quite well in a more counter-attacking system, but I'm worried about his defensive work Lingard- He'll have a role to play for sure Rotation of TFM, Bastian, etc.
