Question

Where to put the phrase "very much" in a sentence?
Which one is correct? 
1. They want to win the role "very much".
2. They "very much" want to win the role.
3. They want "very much" to win the role.

Answer

The three are all correct.

The first sounds the least natural to me when using 'very much'.
I would almost always use 'a lot', rather than 'very much'.
"They want to win the role a lot"

'very much' is far more natural in the 2nd and 3rd sentences in my opinion.

Answer

The first one. Think of the sentence “I love you very much" when you are unsure. 
The second one can be said in certain contexts but the first one is definitely the most common.

Answer

I use number 1.
