Louis van Gaal has burned through some serious cash attempting to freshen up the talent in his Manchester United team as they look to once again threaten the top table in English football.
Here at The Sports Lowdown, we’ll pick our best current Manchester United XI on offer to the Dutchman for his first team next season. Presuming that LVG will play his favoured 4-3-3 tactic this fore-coming season, we have based our team on that model.
GK – David De Gea
Assuming that van Gaal can ward off any interest in the Spaniard over the course of the transfer window, De Gea will be the first name of his team sheet. His performances last season dragged United across the line to the top 4, and if his stellar form continues, there is no reason he will not be United’s next stalwart between the sticks. If he stays, he could be United’s next Schmeichel or Van Der Sar.
