Straight swap for Lindelof or brand new formation? 3 ways Man United could line up with Varane

Lindelof replacement

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is likely to stick with his preferred 4-2-3-1 formation next season and Raphael Varane could come in alongside Harry Maguire as a straight replacement for Victor Lindelof.

Middle of back 3

Varane's ball-playing skills could allow the manager to change things up and switch to a back three. Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka would be used as wing-backs, giving Manchester United more fluidity in attack.

Switch to 1 defensive midfielder

Solskjaer is often criticised for using two defensive midfielder but the Real Madrid centre-back could be the one to change that. With someone of the Frenchman's skill at the back, Paul Pogba would be played in a more advanced position.
