This is how Rotherham United's bold £15m new-look side could line up next season - according to Football Manager

While it's been rather a treat having the Bundesliga back on our TV screens of late, it's still not quite enough to fill the gaping void left by the lack of League One football, and the chances of Rotherham United resuming their 2019/20 season still look uncertain.

For a bit of fun in the meantime, we fired up the latest edition of Football Manager, and simulated the game beyond the summer and into the future. We had a look at the starting XI, key subs and manager it predicts will be on show for the Millers on the opening day of the 2020/21 campaign.

11. AML: Aiden O'Brien

It's another fresh face in the starting XI, as the club's most expensive signing makes the side. The £500k man arrived from Millwall, and dazzled with goals and assists in pre-season. | Getty Images Photo: DANIEL LEAL-OLIVAS
