Worst scout to ever exist
He's an attacking box to box/attacking 8. If you're playing a 4231, that's closer to a #10 than one of the deeper guys. If we're playing a midfield 3, then he's the attacking 8 rather than the deep playmaking one or ball winning/defensive one.He's literally not a 10. He's box to box. I tried explaining his ideal position in my previous post. He isn't a 6 which should be Man Utd's top priority but he'll be a huge upgrade on players playing the 8 role atm.
Also I'm saying this in more of a Ten Hag system. Ten Hag likes having a ball winner/more defensive guy in next to a deep playmaker usually who can move with the ball as well and is press resistant... That just isn't SMS from what I've seen of him. In a Ten Hag system, I think he'd be seen as a 10 more than anything. Regardless of how you rate him compared to Bruno or Eriksen, that just isn't needed.
