I'm glad we're looking to give him a new long term deal he looks a talent. I'm still not sure he's a right back though, I find that when he gets up he never knows when to get back and leaves acres of space behind him. That said I always think Shaw does the same and he's an actual fullback so perhaps I'm being overly critical.
I think it will become more clear where his 'best position' is when he gets a lot more game time, until then it's just good that he's getting first team minutes.

Great news. Potential to be a starter for us in a couple of years. Just needs time to develop, and to focus on one specific position.
How can you not be sure? It's clear it's not his position, he's best centrally as a defensive minded B2B or DM, he only plays RB becausehe's so talented and needs gametime, he will benefit from playing there like Smalling had and other players in the past.. His positioning is quite poor for RB but he makes up for it with his strength and power, Shaw on the other hand has great positioning and it's normal to leave space for a modern day fullback, Timmy leaves too much but in the end it's one of the traits which can be learnt over time...
glad he signed a new deal, it's clear we rate him and Jose as well if he gives him chances ahead of Darmian, wonder if some premiership/chapmionship teams would be interested to get him on loan, I could help him to develop too.. but you can never know what happens to Valencia and replacing one power horse with another certainly makes sense in a way...
Great news.
Hopefully the club confirm it, in terms of new deals he would be #1 right now.
Good new, hopefully he kicks on now and doesn't think has already made it like some other youngesters
Finally signed a new contract.Tweet

Great news. Special young talent. Only turned 18 this year, well ahead of his time.
Man Utd 4:1 Fenerbahce
He's got Bailly level acceleration. Another rapid defender.
Way faster I think, he's probably the fastest at this club.
His recovery pace is obscene.
he accelerates quicker, just looks a bit out of his mind at times but amazing first three four meters
Can run for days this lad.
He really could do a good work in midfield.
Finally played in midfield. Obviously he did not have much to do but one day this lad will be special in the middle of the park.
That pace 
Players just bouncing off him!
Physically he's a monster for 18. Not sure if he's good enough on the ball for a career at CM so would like to see him get a settled position rather than be moved about.
When he caught that Fenerbahce player that got away from him I seriously couldn't believe his speed, it was like watching a dodgy stream that is really choppy and people move around real fast now and then.
I know wjat you meanThat pace
Jeysus... that speed, that power
Made some crunching tackles. His passing was a bit iffy though.
Not sure I've seen a United player combine speed and strength like that. Normally I'd say that's not enough but it's at an extreme level.
Only youth player in recent days that seems to truly be worth all the praise he was getting before ever even setting foot in the first team. I'm sure I'm forgetting someone tho.
Nice cameo but we lost control of the game once Pogba went off.
Amazing speed, but as others have mentioned, I just don't see the technical attributes for a midfield position. He looks like a CB to me.
Speed and strength, alright, but he doesn't show a lot of understanding on how to play.
great to see him in midfield, power and strength is there, just lacks a bit of concentration but that can be learnt but as a midfielder destroyer he doesnt need to be perfect passer but lots of space for improvement for sure:-)
He's a defender... Though under Mourinho can definitely be that extra midfielder required sometimes in tough games to be more defensive, alongside Herrera and Pogba. Has that versatility that he can play in different roles, but long term he'll be a center back I think. Doesn't have the technical ability to be anything else.
I wan Jose to just take a punt and start him in a PL game in the middle of the park. Imagine him and Herrera running around like mad dogs with Pogba free to attack
Technical attributes? The lad didn't even play enough to settle into the role.
If he plays midfield he needs to play where Carrick was as I don't think he is box to box.
He makes Bailly look pedestrian, and Bailly makes Smalling look a little sluggish off the line. Roshaun Williams said Mensah was the fastest of him, Mensah and Rashford - haven't seen Williams, but he is faster than Rashford, and that says something.
He's a defender by heart but having enough attributes to play in midfield but it would take times. Only start playing in midfield since he joined us. Yeah he's a holding midfielder at best.
Just what I was thinking. People are just regurgitating something they've read previously.
There was nothing in the 20mins he got to tonight that suggests he can't be a midfielder.
The pace he showed on a couple of occasions tonight was ridiculous. He's going to be a great player.
There was nothing that suggests he can be. If anything he would be box to box so far with his energy and pace. If he has the nous and technical ability/passing skills to play as a DM is another thing (as many people want him there)
He should be played like Kante at Leicester. Let him run and win the ball. Superb athlete.
