I know there are threads about individual players who feature on the right side of our attack, but I wasn't sure if we had one dedicated to that position in itself (apologies if there's one!)
Thought I'd raise one as it's a hot topic and Ole's made direct quotes towards the issue:
Personally, I think it makes sense for them to build an understanding till Amad starts to push (would be great to have 2 youngsters battling it out and pushing each other like Rashford and Martial did on the left side for a period). AWB is definitely looking a lot more assured in attack so that helps an awful lot with Mason able to play narrower and being closer to goal.
The other current options -
Rashford who can't cut in and shoot as he likes to, and we lose too much on the LW anyway
Pogba - just looks uncomfortable there and can't influence the game much without drifting inside.
Amad - unsure how ready he is right now, but when he is, looks like he could be something special.
In other news, looks like Sancho is starting to hit form again in Germany. Wonder what that means for us.
What do you reckon our RW should look like going forward?

It's always been painfully obvious, and the pursuit of Sancho showed that. It's obviously something the staff have been working on as Greenwood quite pointedly mentioned a couple of weeks back that he was working on helping AWB in defense more.“The right side has traditionally, over the years, been a bit of a challenge for us going forward,” Ole explained after the emphatic success on Tuesday night. “We haven't found like a right-winger, right-back to fill the void when Antonio [Valencia] left but Aaron is getting better.
“I thought Mason's performance was excellent, even though he didn't score. So the two of them can form a very good right side.”
