Rashford and Bruno, This is it?

Another season is coming to a close and yet another year still seeming quite full of disappointment in the post-Ferguson era for the reds of Manchester.

Despite this, with the fifth manager in since Fergusons departure, are United back on the right path? I would say yes.

In goal you have one of the best Goalkeepers on the planet who is always in the debate for the best in De Gea. Not only that, but I wouldn’t be upset if a money-taking move for De Gea happened and the club recall Dean Henderson, a young English keeper proving his way, a United attribute.

In Wan-Bissaka you have your right-back for the long term, albeit a back-up is probably needed. Lindelöf and Maguire are forming a decent partnership but I would like to see more of Axel Tuanzebe in the squad as he could be the first name in the defence in a year or two. Also in Luke Shaw there is still the potential, he just needs a few stand out performances and if Brandon Williams keeps getting minutes you’re getting a more experienced back-up.

In midfield it becomes more tricky as there is that one big question. Paul Pogba. At this very point in time I’d be shocked if he wasn’t sold in the summer, it seems he is hurting more than helping right now. I think McTominay is a definite starter. The growth he has had through Mourinho and now Solskjær is something special. Alongside him you can keep Fred or buy someone new to replace Pogba, I’d be happy either way with Freds current form.

Bruno has no question, he starts.

Same again with Rashford, he plays. If Martial is playing or not I think he belongs on the left though. We’ve seen what Aubameyang’s done since joining Arsenal in a very underperforming side and I believe he can do better. Unfortunately I believe Martial is a short-term solution, he has spells of greatness but never for a prolonged time period. To be at the top though, United will need more, maybe Greenwood if what we have already seen is backed up.

Out on the right is a whole different story, they don’t have anything there, recruitment in that area is necessary, ideally a Jadon Sancho but after United transfer rumours of recent years I wouldn’t be too hopeful fans.

Recapping all I believe it takes is two or three good signings, one window could do it, but it won’t. Solskjær will better Mourinho’s own three year plan and take the team back to where it used to be.
