Rash/martial Roni/Edi Sancho/Greenwood
Two for each position there, though o wonder what will happen to Martial.
Edi can do what he wants. Almost absolutely shafted us by choosing to go on international duty after already coming back late.
Ronaldo and Mason are enough cover.
We have 2 proven number 9s, with a combine age of 70... and then an unproven young kid.
Martial isn't even worth discusses, waste of space needs selling.
Sancho isn't a 9, and neither is Rashford.
So I don't see Cavani going anywhere.
Ronaldo can also still do a job from the left you’d imagine against some sides.
Cavani will miss a shed load of games, and will be used as cover in the bigger games whilst starting a fair bit if we progress in the cup competitions you would suspect.
The other players you mention will all play plenty of games too. We will inevitably have injuries to key players during the season too.
It’s a tricky one because he’s a more complete and proven striker than Greenwood but I feel Greenwood has the potential to be a great striker for us and needs games. Therefor I’d put Greenwood ahead of Cavani in the pecking order. Cavani can still offer a lot (if he’s available) but we’ve kind of just bought a better version than him so he isn’t anywhere near as important as he was yesterday. In terms of other positions I guess Rashford and now Pogba are our LW options ahead of Martial and Sancho and James are our RW options (if rumours of Amad going on loan are true). Obviously some of these players are interchangeable and we also have Mata and Lingard who aren’t going anywhere.
I think it's over for Edi

Not anymore FFS, he's a CF these days
Send him back to South America. 👍 Family are there and he's clearly not happy without them is he? Can't blame the fella either. Can't be easy for him.
Thank him for his decent year with us and move on. The number 7 shirt belongs with the GOAT.
Rashford Ronaldo Sancho
Bruno Pogba
Just wow! That is a frighteningly good front line on paper
We are still lightweight in CM, McFred are Ok, it needs someone like Bissouma
Río already let slip that Cavani has agreed to give up the #7. The only blocker was whether registration is done now and they can't change the number.
Hopefully we can sell Martial for £35-£40m to reinvest next summer when Cavani leaves.
If we can get £20m for Lingard too, or better yet, James, that’d be great.
Ronaldo's number been confirmed yet or after the signing/unveiling?
You'll offer us martial and 70m for kane next summer
Gonna be tough to move Martial on with the wage he's on with his bad form. Unless he agrees a wage reduction or we undervalue his fee.

My worry is that Ronnie and Rashford play too much as individuals to play together. We will see.
Hopefully there’s enough creativity in Bruno, Pogba and Sancho.
Greenwood shouldn’t be forgotten. Better player than Rashford, and maybe even Sancho for my money.
Going to beautiful seeing the link up play and attack with these lot.
Wasn't there something about you not selling martial this summer

Can't imagine him wearing anything other than 7.
Don’t think Ronaldo can take #7 unless Cavani leaves as it’s already registered. You can’t just give a number up.

Cavani hasn't played yet so I'm not sure this is the case. If he had then maybe so.
Yeah, that was then. But things can change quickly in the window as shown. But i personally think it maybe too late to try to move Martial on in this window now. Maybe January if it's plausible or next summer.

I’ll reserve judgement on sancho, unproven in the prem, but it’s a formidable set of attackers we have
It’s not about whether you’ve played, the numbers will have been given before the season started. This is what I’ve read anyway. The club can ask for special dispensation but that’s never worked in the past. Some saying he might take 28, his old Sporting number but you’d think 7 is so big not just for Ronaldo but United financially.

I don't think anyone can tbh. I think it's 'expected' that'll be the likely number, if he doesn't pick another magical number.
I personally think Cavani might agree to give it up. This is purely based on my own opinion of his humble/modest character.
