Key man – Wayne Rooney
Van Gaal has plenty of options elsewhere on the pitch, but he has made no secret that he is putting his complete faith in Rooney to lead the line.
The England international will need to produce and respond with goals, otherwise things might have to be shifted around and that could cause trouble for United.
With so much creativity in and around him, Rooney should thrive as the spearhead of the attack, but it is vitally important that he can scores regularly to ensure that there is an end product.
Young player to look out for – Memphis Depay
The 21-year-old seems like an obvious choice, but ultimately he’s still young and inexperienced and will look to make a statement in his first season in England.
Andreas Pereira also came into consideration, but much depends on how many opportunities he receives to impress.
As a result, Depay is the man to look out for this season as he will operate behind Rooney and has the versatility to roam around and play in various positions in an attacking trident.
