Man Utd’s potential new-look XI under Graham Potter with three signings and £350m in exits

The landscape at Manchester United may undergo a significant transformation next season if Sir Jim Ratcliffe decides to part ways with Erik ten Hag.

The INEOS founder, set to acquire a 25 percent stake in United, has reportedly met with Graham Potter and sees him as the preferred candidate to replace Ten Hag.

If Potter takes charge, here’s a glimpse of how the Manchester United lineup could shape up in the 2024/25 season:

Goalkeeper – Onana
Despite Onana’s struggles, Potter might prioritize strengthening other areas, given the significant investment in the goalkeeper last summer.

Defence – Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Martinez, Shaw
With Varane likely to leave, Potter could tap into OGC Nice connections for talented center-back Todibo to pair with Martinez.

Wan-Bissaka and Shaw would retain their full-back positions.

Midfield – Fofana, Gallagher, Fernandes
Potential departures like Casemiro and Van de Beek could prompt midfield changes. Gallagher’s reunion with Potter and the addition of Fofana from Ligue 1 could reshape the midfield trio, supporting captain Fernandes.

Attack – Mount, Rashford, Hojlund
Antony’s struggles might lead to his departure, and Potter could opt for Mount in a wide role, reuniting with him from their time at Chelsea.

Rashford and Garnacho would compete for the left wing, with Hojlund’s development a key focus.

Potter’s arrival could usher in a new era at Old Trafford, with strategic changes across the pitch.
