Think it might be Rebic
don't we have enough donkeys on the right flank?Think it might be Rebic
Perisic havent played as RW for Inter or Croatia in the world cup. If we sign him as RW then it will be based on assumption that he can play to good level as RW.I think someone like Perisic would be ideal exactly because of his profile and abilities to play on both flanks.
With him approaching geriatric years soon, it would give Chong to develop and be ready to take over that RW.
Lord help us for the coming season then!Andreas Pereira and Mata will compete for the role.
Already looking forward to another "Will we finish top 4" thread this season.Andreas Pereira and Mata will compete for the role.
Might as hand City another League title then, especially since Valencia seems to be our starting RB. Zero service coming from the right.Andreas Pereira and Mata will compete for the role.
Or current right wing options would probably improved by having Boris Johnson play there, let alone Mahrez.You would honestly think Mahrez was prime Ronaldo the way he's been turned into some sort of god on here since City signed him. I think he's a great player, but bloody hell.
If that isn't the plan, I don't see us finishing anywhere other than 6th. We cannot go in next season with Sanchez first choice at inside left and Martial and Rashford being subs.If we aren't going for anyone, there's a high chance that Mou's decided to play Sanchez there.
From what I gather he's more comfortable on the left.Fecking Perisic. Is there nobody else who can play as a winger on this planet? This Bailey lad looks a talent, why aren't we being linked with him?
Might get his autograph if we are lucky.Mbappe
On a contractMight get his autograph if we are lucky.
If we don't sign anyone I hope we'd consider giving Chong some minutes, ideally we should be looking at phasing Mata out this season. If we're playing a 4-3-3 could we expect to see Lingard there?Andreas Pereira and Mata will compete for the role.
Pretty much this. Names mean nothing if the manager can’t play the system he thinks suits us best. Hopefully there’s more to come from our existing players with a few tweaks.I still think the worrying here sometimes is a bit excessive - we ve signed some big big names over the years and every time its implied the club is just screwing around. It's not like a lot of those big names have even been a resounding success. I am confident we will make another signing - if only because I can't see Mou wanting to put up with mediocrity for yet another season.
Was just thinking that myself. According to WhoScored he played as a right winger more than a left winger last season, he looked good there from his highlights but the highlight reels are hardly going to showcase his mistakes.If we dont sign anyone I think Pereira could play there - I think he played a similar role at Valencia.
Highly unlikely. He's be a back-up to a back-up option at best. Mourinho said Pereira's loan wasn't ideal because at Valencia he played in a position that "doesn't exist" at United. Also, he's not mentioned him as one of the attacking players we're starting the season with (Alexis, Martial, Mata) despite Rashford and Lingard both being unavailable. I don't think he'll play much.If we dont sign anyone I think Pereira could play there - I think he played a similar role at Valencia.
I was under the impression he played mostly on the left, but if that's not the case and he did play more on the right, maybe just maybe that's what we're going to go with. It's a risk.Was just thinking that myself.

Why? Lingard will most likely start ahead of both of them.Andreas Pereira and Mata will compete for the role.
Lingard as a winger? Don't you think he is better as a CAM? IMO we can get the best out of him behind the striker.Why? Lingard will most likely start ahead of both of them.
Hopefully this. It's a position he's played excellently before and Martial is good enough to grab a chance as a regular starter on the left with Rashford getting plenty of games over the season too. If Martial is consistently the player his talent can be we are good and really just lacking a top quality left back from being a really good side for next season IMO. A central defender with more experience and quality then what we currently have wouldn't hurt of course.If we aren't going for anyone, there's a high chance that Mou's decided to play Sanchez there.
Dalot won't be able to step up right away, as he's injured until sept, knee injury I believe. Take him a while to get his fitness up and then get used to the league/club. Hoping he can still make an impact but could be later in the yr before we see it.I wouldn't have any issue, if we sidestep this problem and use a system without wingers, if we are unable to sign a good player for the right. Problem with that approach would be, that we would definitely need better full-backs than what Young and Valencia provide. Sincerely hope that Dalot can step up right away.
Malcom and Bailey seem to be the best realistic options in my eyes. That is if the latter is truly comfortable on the right (mostly seen him on the left).
Should have worded it differently. I am hoping that he's a first choice player sooner than later, meaning we won't have to wait until his second season.Dalot won't be able to step up right away, as he's injured until sept, knee injury I believe.

The purchase of Fred makes it likely that we'll play a three man midfield quite often. If that happens we won't really have that position behind the striker.Lingard as a winger? Don't you think he is better as a CAM? IMO we can get the best out of him behind the striker.
He played left wing or LM at valencia.If we dont sign anyone I think Pereira could play there - I think he played a similar role at Valencia.
