MU is still struggling in the middle of the Premier League rankings with a series of erratic achievements. Part of the reason is that the key players are absent due to injury. But if they have the strongest squad, can the Red Devils get into the top 4?
In the 2022/23 season, MU played quite sublimely under new coach Erik ten Hag. They finished third in the Premier League, reached the quarterfinals of the Europa League, the FA Cup final and won the League Cup.
However, the excitement after the first season with Ten Hag quickly faded, giving way to instability and bad results in the 2023/24 season.
MU has now been eliminated from the League Cup and European Cup tournaments. In the FA Cup, they won the right to enter the fourth round, but with their current form, it is difficult to advance far. In the Premier League, the Red Devils dropped to 7th place, 8 points behind 4th place Arsenal but played 1 more match.
Part of the reason for MU’s decline is the injury problem. Their pillars such as Luke Shaw, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez or Casemiro are often injured.
So if the Red Devils have the strongest squad, what will the result be? Twitter account UtdEra_@ recently released the strongest possible squad for MU in the current season.
Accordingly, standing in the wooden goal is Andre Onana, because reserve goalkeepers Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton are not trusted enough. The back four includes Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane and Digo Dalot.
The central midfield duo is Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo. Captain Bruno Fernandes plays in defense behind the trio of Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund.
In fact, MU’s current squad already has all of these players after Casemiro, Martinez and Shaw have all recovered from injury and can play.
Red Devils fans are hoping that the return of the key players will help MU flourish again at an important time of the season. With the best people, Ten Hag’s team can completely surpass and occupy a position in the top 4.
