Defensive Midfielder: Daley Blind-
The Dutch skipper played almost his entire season as a full back, but to be very honest, he is never made for that position, especially in the premier league. He struggled a lot in terms of physicality, but playing him as a defensive midfielder might work for the squad in coming years.
The Dutch international is a highly creative player who can set the players for making some threatening forward runs. This season, he lacked in his physical attribute, but he was praised for his pinpoint passing abilities. Being a central defender, he was always an option for a pass in the heart of the team and that is the main reason, he should play in the central midfield.
Central Midfielder: Ross Barkley-
Another Evertonian player! He is having a pretty good time at his current club, but to be very honest, his stay at the Merseyside club will hamper his style of play and will not improve at all. He is the product of Everton’s youth system, but if United comes knocking the door, he must leave the side without having a single doubt.
With Michael Carrick not having many years in his footballing career, this Englishman will be the perfect one to replace the midfield maestro. His physical presence and his creativity will help the Devils a lot and that will help the player as well as he makes the players around him to get more involved in.
