I never thought I’d be pushing for Richarlison to start in a final, but the more I think about it (and fuck I haven’t stopped thinking about this game this weekend) I think 4-4-2 is the right option.

Your options are

Sarr: Carrying an injury, has been pretty poor this season IMO, not all that creative
Odobert: Has barely played there, I just also haven’t been convinced
Sonny: Probably the player that’s most likely to have a big impact with Maddison and Deki out, is playing him out of position going to help that?
Tel: Another one that’s not really played there, tends to go out of games a bit
Richy: Solanke can do the dropping off with his work rate, leave Richy to get into Maguire. One thing I will say is I feel with how on edge he plays he’s a red card risk in a big game, IMO

My only fear is our middle two being completely outnumbered if they go for that box midfield with the two 10’s and the holding mids, leaving our full backs with the awkward situation of either coming inside and leaving their wing backs to bomb on or our midfield to get overrun
Could get one of the front two to drop into midfield areas / play on their DM
 
-----------------Vicario----------------
----Danso----Romero---VDV-------
Porro----------------------------Udogie
----Bentancur--Bissouma--Sarr-----
-------------Son-----Solanke-------

Now, I think that is a decent team but I don't actually think United deserve such a line-up, but it could work.

I think Richarlison is starting on Wednesday,more than Johnson, and I think Son will also be on the pitch to commence.
