    Hello all.

    What formation do you think Mourinho will have next season?

    Been chatting with my mates we are more or less in agreement that Mourinho will play Zlatan as a lone striker with Rooney behind in a 451 formation.

    Anyone have any other ideas?

    Also before anyone gets annoyed, yes I am a Leicester fan but Man Utd are my second team and I cannot be arsed to make a new account just to post on here so people don't think I'm taking the piss.

    Ignore the scouse ****er!

    Yeah, 4-5-1, 4-2-3-1, call it what you will but along those lines.

    Ibra at 9, Rooney at 10 behind, Martial off the left, Michitarian off the right and a CM partnership behind all that.

    You're just pissed off as the penny has dropped that Liverpool aren't 'everyone's' second team!!

    Swansea City.

    Because I've lived here for 25 years and I've watched them in every division of the league.

    There's only really one though.

    How about you? Tranmere?

    Nope. I don't have one. Certainly not England <laugh> If it's not Liverpool, it's England cricket.

    I'll just be glad that we'll be passing the ball forward.

    Rumours are Rooney will be playing deeper than 10, akin to Lampard at Chelsea, so arguably more of a 4-3-3.

    But regardless of how you number it, the formation looks to be four at the back, two CM, one striker, two wide attackers and one player between the CM and strikers with a bit more flexibility - get forwards when teams need breaking down and sit deeper if we need more in the park against better sides.

    My second team is Leicester. I've supported them for over 60 days now, and will continue to do so for at least the next 60 <ok>

    The defence looking better with Bailly as the new addition:

    My back 4 Fosu-Mensah, Smalling, Bailly, Shaw

    Strikeforce better with Zlatan to lend experience:

    Martial and Zlatan with Rashford providing cover and getting match experience.

    Midfield would be hugely improved by the (re) purchase of Pogba (Which midfield wouldn't??). Although not sure whether
    Mikki coming means Pogba isn't.

    Morgan Pogba Mikki Herrera (Rooney).

    Exciting times ahead. Will we see a physical "Mourinho" team with flair?
