First team in 5 years

[Otamendi's Beard]

Just looking ahead to what our first team could realistically look like in 5 years time. Here's my first XI in an ideal world IF they all reach their potential.

Hart (33)

Maffeo (23), Denayer (24), Mangala (29), Angelino (22/23)

Bryan (24), Pogba (27)

Barker (23), Sterling (25), De Bruyne (29)

Iheanacho (23)

Anyone got their prediction? Be interesting to see how many of these are still with us/sign.

 

[squirtyflower]

Humphreys instead of Mangala
Garcia instead of De Bryune with Sterling on the outside
Gunn instead of the old man in goal

 

[Hobbie]

Will Barker be better than Rony Lopes?

Will Barker be better than Rony Lopes?

Good shout. I prefer Barker's direct play though in beating the full back.

Will Barker be better than Rony Lopes?

Hart (33)

Fabinho (26) Denayer (24) Mangala (29) Angelino (23)

Evans (25)

Barker (23) Pogba (27) Sterling (26)

Garcia (22)

Iheanacho (23)

Others/bench: Lopes (24) Unal (23) Patrick Roberts (23) Smith-Brown (24) Gunn (24) Maffeo (23)

Probably need to swap some youth for maturity/leadership/experience

Humphreys instead of Mangala
Garcia instead of De Bryune with Sterling on the outside
Gunn instead of the old man in goal

Gunn is going to be one hell of a goalkeeper.
