I've come to the conclusion he will be definitely RWB.

RWB? Instead of Ayling?

I think Bielsa is gonna stick Raphinha in the middle personally, would make sense. You don't have to work quite as hard and it makes him free to playmake a bit more

There must be some defensive midfielder out there we can sign? Even a loan.

At the moment we're limited to Fred, McTominay (injured for a while) and god forbid Matic in those positions, and none are particularly good on their own.

I thought Ronaldo played everywhere? Surely he will do everything, singlehandly winning you the league....:confused:

Yeah, Ayling barely got forward on Sunday and he went into the back three later on, you could see him playing more of a cb role going forward, he's not getting any quicker. I know Bielsa only plays 3 at he back when the opposition plays 2 up top but could be an option against more teams. His trademark formation before Leeds was always 3 at the back. Raphinha is an absolute beast on the wing, I cannot see him changing it but who knows. Costa will go out on loan so maybe he does jut want the squad depth...Please anyone but Roberts as plan B though.

Yea, he's good on the wing no doubt, but i think Harrison/Bamford/James as your front 3 is like the ultimate high press, there won't be a front 3 in the PL that work and press the defence as much as them. Then you stick Raphinha just behind them pulling the strings, rattling off long rangers and slipping balls down the side. I can see Bielsa using James in other areas of the pitch for sure though

Odd comment.

Some talk of Cavani to Barcelona, would make some sense.

The PL rejected Utd's application to give Cavani the 21 and Ronaldo the 7 shirt so Ronaldo insisted Cavani is sold.

I’ll be curious to see how Ronaldo reacts to Ole’s ‘management’ style to be honest.

Although the Arsenal/Amazon series is going to be amazing, it would be great to see behind the scenes at Utd this season. Your manager is usually the most dominant character in a dressing room, possibly with wherever Ronaldo and Messi are being te exceptions but that's 10 fold this season given how much of a wet lettuce Ole is.
