Manchester United supporters in the Transfer Tavern are basking in anticipation of new arrivals as the pre-season preparations begin.

Having already purchased the highly-rated Victor Lindelof from Benfica, Manchester United supporters are eagerly expecting further recruits at Old Trafford this summer as Mourinho starts to assemble a squad that will challenge for the title.

His ambitions of league glory are no surprise after United finished a disappointing sixth in the Premier League last season, a failure that the club are hoping to address this forthcoming campaign.

Consequently, attention has already been placed on United’s opening fixture of the new Premier League season against West Ham United.

The Red Devils’ starting eleven is likely to be different from last season, as Mourinho’s poised to spend big in the transfer market to augment his side’s chances of league glory.

Our landlord has opted to look at TWO impact subs that United should utilise in their opening game against the Hammers….

Anthony Martial

The Frenchman has fallen out-of-favour somewhat under the management of Jose Mourinho and must fight relentlessly to regain a position in his starting eleven.

Following a sensational first season at United, in which Martial scored 17 goals, the 21-year-old was preordained to become a United legend a name that will be forever entrenched in their folklore.

His second season at the club has tainted these ambitions.

Monaco’s former forward scored only eight goals in 42 games and was utilised as a rotational option by Mourinho.

More than a third of his appearances were made as a substitute, and it is likely that he’ll be condemned to the same fate this upcoming season unless his situation improves.

Accordingly, Mourinho must make use of his extraordinary talents as they face West Ham United on an opening day.

Andreas Pereira

Another intriguing option that Mourinho should utilise on the opening day of the new season is Andreas Pereira.

The Brazilian impressed on loan in La Liga last season with Granada, having scored five goals and he provided three assists.

The 21-year-old can operate anywhere in the attacking line and accordingly he’s a valuable option to have among the substitutes.

Regarded for his trickery and tendency to dribble with the ball, Pereira can provide his teams with a creative spark if required.

He’s also able to change the course of the game instantaneously due to his remarkable shooting ability from long-range.

This is a youngster that Mourinho must utilise on the opening day of the new season.
