Manchester United are once again busy in the transfer window like they were last summer under the management of Louis van Gaal.
Already, the Red Devils have secured for top quality signings to reinforce the squad with stars like Memphis Depay for attack, Darmian to cover the right full back spot and Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger for midfield.
There have been reports that United will sell record signing Angel Di Maria who will be replaced by compatriot Benfica playmaker Nicolas Gaitan.
With so many big names, it is evident that one or more will have to start on the bench for the Red Devils.
The question is, who will be that superstar signing that will warm the bench for Red Devils next season. Di Maria had to sit on the bench to make way for Ashley Young, even though he might be replaced, in our opinion, his potential replacement, Gaitan will be the one to warm the bench.
As far as midfield is concerned, we do not see Schweni, Schneiderlin or Herrera out of the starting XI.
As far as attack is concerned, three in the midfield means only two options left for playmakers with Rooney upfront as lone striker.
In such a scenario, Depay and Mata should start on either side of attack. Gaitan mainly plays on the left hand side of attack as well and that place is likely to be taken by Depay while Mata was one of the best players on the right hand side for Van Gaal last season.
If United do shift to 4-2-3-1 and bench one of the three midfielders then perhaps Gaitan can start in the hole behind the striker.

Man United's Superstar Signing who will Warm the Bench
(Visited 58 times, 1 visits today)
All players should warm the bench at some point of the season. The important thing is to have an effective crew on the field at all times. The new players will give United and LVG more options. This is great when a team is trying to come from behind and to close out a game. Keeping everyone fresh should also be easier now with the new additions.
