The probable composition of the Red Devils against Italy: with a surprise name in the starting eleven?

A what position will Leandro Trossard be in at the kick-off of Belgium – Italy this Thursday evening? The answer will determine many things in the eleven that Domenico Tedesco must make against the Squadra. The coach has two possibilities for the Arsenal player: left winger or number ten in support of Romelu Lukaku.

If he plays as a left flank, his coach must determine who will support Lukaku. In the absence of De Bruyne and De Ketelaere in particular, it could be a midfielder, Arthur Vermeeren then being a plausible candidate in front of an Onana-Mangala duo.

Mbangula or De Cuyper on the left flank?

If Tedesco prefers Trossard in ten to have creativity in the heart of the game, he must find a solution on the left. Where the choices are not legion following the packages of Doku and Fofana. Bakayoko? It will be placed on the right. Lukebakio? We are told that he will not be the starter. Mbangula? He has the profile but will Tedesco dare? There remains one option which is not as crazy as it seems: Maxim De Cuyper.

Very good offensively, the Bruges player could progress a notch higher. With Castagne at his back and with the possibility of becoming a fifth defender if the circumstances of the match require it.
