Manchester United transfer news: How Red Devils could line up next season with Mauro Icardi and Paulo Dybala replacing Romelu Lukaku
Romelu Lukaku is reportedly set to be used as a makeweight by Manchester United as they look to lure Inter’s Mauro Icardi and Paulo Dybala from Juventus.The Belgium striker, who signed for a whopping 75million in 2017, has failed to convince the United hierarchy of his ability and any deal for theSerie A superstars, will see Lukaku move the other way.It remains to be seen what part the 25-year-old will play against former club Chelsea in the FA Cup on Monday night, a game you can hear exclusively live on talkSPORT.5

Lukaku’s move to Manchester United has not been as successful as he would have hoped

Icardi, who was recently stripped of the Inter captaincy, was left out of Luciano Spalletti’s squad to face Sampdoria at home on Sunday evening, fuelling rumours he is set for a move away after the continued indiscretions of his wife.And there is also talk of Juventus forward Dybala leaving Italy, with an incredible swap deal with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah even mentioned.Since Lukaku has started just three of interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s 12 games in charge, a move for one or maybe even both of the aforementioned players should not be ruled out.With rumours of the crown prince of Saudi Arabia looking to take over the Premier League giants, bankrolling the moves would certainly not be an issue. But just how could United look to allow Icardi and Dybala to thrive?

CLASSIC MANCHESTER UNITED

Two attacking wingers in a 4-4-2 formation is vintage Manchester United

One of the first things Solskjaer did when returning to Old Trafford was reintroduce some of the values and traditions which Sir Alex Ferguson insisted the players upheld during his time at the club.Wearing suits became compulsory again and, if he gets the job full-time as is being reported, the Norwegian could reintroduce the 4-4-2 formation which made United the most dominant force in England at the start of the Premier League era.With Dybala dropping off Icardi into spaces behind defences, the playmaker will be tasked with providing the ammunition for his Argentina teammate as well as the two wingers.However, in order to accommodate two strikers, two disciplined midfielders would have to play in the four-man midfield. This would surely mean Paul Pogba would have to be dropped in order to facilitate the defensive instincts of Ander Herrera and Nemanja Matic.

NARROW 4-3-3

With the two defensive-minded midfielders in front of Pogba, the France international could thrive

In order to accommodate the rejuvenated Pogba, whoever the next manager is would surely have to play the France international with two holding midfielders.It may mean shifting Juventus superstar Dybala out to the right hand side, but the 25-year-old has the ability to play the role well and find opportunities to cut inside.The back four would remain the same, with the full backs given more freedom to attack and get on the overlap because they know the two holding midfielders can provide cover.Since both Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial would look to cut inside as well from the left hand side, the return to form of Luke Shaw is a timely boost as well.

UNLEASHING PAUL POGBA

A slight variation on the 4-3-3, Pogba would be tasked with playing almost as a second striker

One of the most noticeable differences between Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United and Solskjaer’s team is the influx of pace with and without the ball.Shifting from defensive transitions into lethal counter-attacking moments is a far more regular occurrence with the pace and power of United’s attackers being used to the fullest.Playing Paul Pogba right behind Mauro Icardi would completely free the World Cup winner of any defensive responsibilities and would allow him to use his physical prowess to break into the box and get beyond the Argentine striker.Rashford and Dybala would be asked to track back in order to compensate for the rampaging runs of Pogba, but both are diligent and selfless when it comes to working for the team.

THE MODERN MASTERPIECE

Pace, power, width and attacking creativity are all provided in this formation

The return of three defenders at the back to modern football has seen several different variations of the 3-5-2 formation made famous by the Netherlands.When Antonio Conte’s Chelsea side wiped the floor with all other contenders in 2017 by using the fabled system, Premier League teams sat up and took notice.United are yet to fully commit to using three at the back but, provided they can fortify their central positions at the back, this could be potentially devastating.With one of Rashford or Martial alongside Dybala behind Icardi, goals would certainly not be hard to come by.
