Key line: "Of all the potential changes in this team, Sancho would be the biggest coup and if United can tempt the English to Old Trafford, they could have themselves a bona fide superstar for years to come." ok, so, this is miles off the mark yet again because Luke Shaw has enjoyed a renaissance since then, but this is another signing, like Dias, that United could have done with making. Key line: "They might have to fight Manchester City for this particular signature, but it's a transfer that makes so much sense for United and one they've been linked with as recently as this week." It might not be all sunshine and rainbows for the United skipper at the moment, but there's no denying that - like we said in 2019 - he's a top centre-back when he's on form. Key line: "There can be little doubting that Maguire is one of the Premier League's very best on his day and the 26-year-old will come into his own when he settles in at the 'Theatre of Dreams.'" Key line: "The Portuguese, one of the finest up and coming centre-backs in Europe, could follow in the footsteps of Victor Lindelof in a move that would suit United's future-thinking project to a tee."Īh, the first misstep, but United could have done a lot worse than listening to our advise because Dias was named the Premier League Player of the Season in his first year at Manchester City.

Whether you like it or not, United fans, we were spot on here, too. Key line: "It's been a so-so start for the Englishman this season, but he's shown more than enough quality to suggest he'll be a regular starter when 2021 rolls around." 'Untouchable' might have been a tad strong with Dean Henderson threatening his number one jersey at times, but De Gea has probably been United's best player this season.

Key line: "Say whatever you like about De Gea's mistakes over the last 12 months, but the Spaniard remains one of the world's best goalkeepers and is an untouchable at Old Trafford." Well, low and behold, not only is it now the year in question, but Solskjaer's project has indeed ended, so let's revisit our XI - originally inspired by talkSPORT - to see how it's aged down below: GK - David de Gea
