Mbappe has the required quality for the front 3 to accept him as an equal. I'm not sure Sancho has that feather in his bow and seemingly is a bit of a pain in the arse for Dortmund.
Mbappe walks in as genuine competition, Sancho not so much, without slating his ability. With our current front 3 they'd also force Mbappe to improve aspects of his game.
We are where we are now. Add Mbappe and we can go 4231/42X and take it up another level.
Rotation in a 433 would also make sense.
Think the front 3 made from the 4 could take up the intensity levels more readily and as such we could get back to a more terrifying level as in 17/18 with more goals and assists via rest, rotation, competition and unpredictability with the line up.
None of the 4 would be lacking game time.
We could even see one or 2 start in domestic cup games and increase our chances of winning more trophies.
