Man Utd's potential XI under Luis Enrique, featuring Barcelona star

Luis Enrique is in the running to become the new Manchester United manager.

While Mauricio Pochettino and Erik ten Tag looked to have become the frontrunners in recent weeks, the Daily Mail are reporting that the Spain boss is still in the hunt to take over at Old Trafford.

Insiders revealed on Sunday night that Luis Enrique has a number of admirers at the ‘Theatre of Dreams’ with the prospect of not having to pay top dollar to prize him away from the national team job proving attractive.

Despite having been seen as an outsider for much of United‘s managerial hunt, those close to the situation are now reportedly touting him as a ‘real contender’ despite the complications brought about by the World Cup.

‘Lucho’ previously enjoyed great success in club football with Barcelona where he won two La Liga titles, three Copa del Rey trophies, the Champions League, Spanish Super Cup, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.

He also took charge of Barcelona B, Celta Vigo and AS Roma along the way to leading Spain to the 2022 World Cup and catching the eyes of United’s chief in process.

So, with Luis Enrique reportedly still very much in the running to become Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s permanent replacement, it only made sense that we pictured how that would actually look.

Yes, it’s one thing to imagine the trophies raining in as Luis Enrique solidifies his status as a natural-born winner, but how would United’s team actually line up in a world where the Spaniard took over?

Well, fear not, because we’ve answered that exact question by combining our knowledge of Luis Enrique’s philosophy with United’s realistic transfer goals to compile their 2022/23 starting XI under the Spain boss.

Naturally, it’s impossible to predict the future, so
