Does one have to be a “top red” to take that position? I’m not defending the fee we paid. I find it neither here nor there, as he has plenty of resale value, but I will defend the player at this early stage of his United career. He has loads to offer and has pretty much been injured since he arrived. I think at the end of this season would be a good time to make a proper assessment. He covers us in a high quality way for a number of positions, and football is fundamentally a squad game. We’ll have to rotate way more this season than last, if we are going to realistically compete, and keep the squad fresh, and I’d be happy to see him start in AM or LW in any number of games. He’s one of the few squad players we have who is good enough to push for a starting spot and provide genuine competition for places.
