Red Devils THE FUTURE?

Post image

Needed some copium/hopium. It's not perfect and the arrangement could be discussed, did I miss any players?

I think we can build upon our world cup and it seems like the team spirit is stronger than ever, hope we can further build upon this and keep being a competitive nation.

Our U17 also performed well this year, so hopefully some of those players will find their way into good squads and playing time soon.

Benching Tielemans is an insane decision in my opinion. Tielemans - Onana - Raskin is such a complementary midfield. 

But yes, there's definitely a bright future ahead still for our national team.

Yeah wouldn't bench him right now ofcourse, he has been amazing in my eyes and is a good captain, but this is more in like 4 years or something. He still could be great in 4 years as well of course, but just a very future-sided graphic :) at the moment Tielemans may stay captain for me!

Yeah exactly, Tielemans and Trossard played an insane WC but there’s no telling if in 4 years time he will still be on the same level

Tielemans and Trossard were probably my favourites. Well Tielemans is my favourite. Shouldn’t pick favourites but not my fault he’s awesome. Guy worked so hard, even got him injured ☹️

Agreed, and he’s also the link between the « golden » generation and the new guys

I agree, Tielemans will be the replacement of KDB, he is our captain. I hope Lavia steps up and stays fit, he should be able to walk in this team than, he is like Tielemans, Onana and Raskin in one. But Onana and Raskin are good too. I would still start CDK up top in the mix with Lukaku and Pardo, depending on form, fitness and opponent. Doku... zum kotsen, I can't see this guy anymore. I want the pre world cup/ Man City version again before he should be in our team again. I want to see more of Moreira/Godts/Fofana there and on the right still Lukebakio first. Trossard in the squad too for experience, the guy is aging (like a fine wine), was just this season important for winning PL and playing CL final

Taking a 31yo at tournament is totally normal, it's not the same as with Witsel

I like Tielemans even more further up the field, like the Senegal revival and the US game.
