Upgrading our RW/RM

[Dobbs]

We need somebody who actually wants to play the position. Too many wide players don't really want to be there. We have a few of them already so the last thing we need is another player who prefers to play centrally. Get a specialist who knows the role inside out.

That said I haven't got a name. Leave that to the scouting system.

 

[reddevil702]

He started the season under Pep playing wide right, with Coman often playing wide left. Eventually Pep realised both are better playing on the opposite flank. His best games for Bayern were played wide left. That said, was excellent on the right too under Pep.

Haven't really watched much Bundesliga at all this season but his performances have apparently fallen off a cliff. To be fair to him though, by all accounts Bayern's style of play in gerneral has been disappointing this season. Maybe playing under Mourinho is just what he needs?

As I've said earlier in the thread, a fit-and-firing (fingers crossed) Martial alongside Mkhitaryan as the #10 and Costa wide right has potential to be the most exciting United team since Tevez-Rooney-Ronaldo.

Costa would be an amazing buy this summer.He can come right in and have in impact in his first season. Only 26 so would solve that problem for quite a while.I think I remember reading something that he may be looking to leave due to play time so it could be a bargain, similar price range as mikki.

 

[JohnnyLaw]

Not necessary saying it is, just saying your initial post was misleading.

i think that's fair.

 

[rollingstoned1]

We really should have signed Mane looking back now, not a world beater but just what our right side is crying out for since LVG got rid of every player with pace who could run with the ball in the front 6 and then complained about how slow we are. When we bought depay i expected what we are now seeing from Mane at Pool.

 

[GloryHunter07]

Mohammed Salah is having a decent season, and has said nice things about Jose despite leaving Chelsea

 

[chickendinner]

We need a real proper winger who does the dirty work going back and the player who fits the bill best for me as a Mou player is Felipe Anderson. Yes, the guy we were going to sign two windows ago but we signed Depay instead.
here are his strengths from whoscored.com

He is the highest rated player in Seria A right now and falls in the attainable category.

Would love a player like this, but also think we'd have one in Rashford if he was played on that side more often. Rashford still has a long way to go, but I feel like he could just play more instinctively from the right whereas he seems to think about too much on the left (and always wants to cut inside). We could do with speed ahead of Valencia to be more dangerous on counters.

 

[3KDré]

How about Henrikh Mkhitaryan? I heard he is pretty good there.

 

[notcool]

I think we don't need a touchline winger because we have Valencia running up and down that flank. Also, we have Ibra dropping deep so it's good to have someone who can run in behind. Mane is a good shout but i'm starting to think Griezmann would be perfect. Feel a bit sorry for Mata if we do bring in someone to play out wide though: he's been consistently good for us since he came,

Valencia does not help us break on the counter quicker. Goes without saying the Mata and Ibra don't help us here either. We have scored very few goals on the break this season. Still areas of unbalance in our team.

So don't get Griezmann for the right wing? He's a very fast player.

I'm of the opinion Griezmann would be an upgrade on Mata in every sense, especially on the counter. I think that this season Rashford would have contributed more from the right as a provider and our quickest outlet on the counter.

Good common sense post. Like it!

Watched him the other night for a bit and his final ball was awful

I hope that performance isnt his level

No problem mate. At times I prefer reading to posting. If someone has already said what I think then I simply try to acknowledge that. Besides you sometimes need the skill of a politician to post something that ain't ripped to shreds....

 

[Moby]

Gerard Deulofeu is now playing for Milan on loan. Why does no top club try for him? He's an amazing talent that could be brilliant at the right club. Have wanted him at United for a while now. Such an obvious choice for us.

If he was that good, he wouldn't have been on the bench half the time during his Everton stints.

 

[Red Royal]

The young right winger at Salzburg has been good Haidara. I hadn't heard if him before but if this is a typical performance then he looks a decent prospect.

5 minutes after posting that he's been sent off and lost his head! The search continues

Right after Salzburg conceded and had 4 mins to score 2 goals. They were never doing that. He's a prospect alright, mostly been linked with Spurs.

Not near good enough.

 

[Adam-Utd]

Not near good enough.

He’s actually been at Watford on loan since January, but I think that sums up how well he’s done.
He did have a very good relationship with Lukaku at Everton, seems like where his best run of form came. He’s not the answer though.

We need a winger like Deulofeu, but someone with much more quality.

Someone who keeps the width, takes players on and delivers crosses into the box.

He and Lukaku had a great relationship because Deulofeu did exactly what I mentioned above, and Lukaku strives off crosses into the box.


Mourinho likes to play with two wide forwards, but ideally, we need one winger to keep the width and one winger to tuck in.

At the moment, we have plenty of wingers who likes to cut in, but we lack an out and out winger.

Someone like Leroy Sane, for example.

Whenever I watch City, he's always hugging the touchline. It means that City can get him into 1v1 situations and it also gives the likes of Silva, De Bruyne and co. more space to work in.

When I watch United, however, everyone, apart from our full backs wants to play centrally. It just doesnt work, and I honestly believe it's why we struggle to break teams down, especially the teams who like to play defensively.

Going forward, I'd like to see whoever we bring in at right wing someone who will stretch play for us.

I personally don’t see why Sanchez isn’t already forfilling this role. He is most likely to go inside but he is perfectly capable of holding width which we’ve seen Martial do as well. Personally I’d prefer inside forwards and the width to come from fullbacks but yeah initially you want people that will hold wide which is what Leroy does.

Intresting enough Leroy whenever I saw him at Schalke was a RW. I wanted him for us as to me there were similarities then between he and Martial,just at the time I would have said Sane was more a creative type than finisher. He’d often drive inside beat a few, pass it off and so on. The job Pep has done to change him to a LW is pretty impressive not to mention Sane also following instruction.

Deulofeu to be fair to him at that time the crosses he was putting in for Lukaku were incredible he had a weird technique of like putting top spin on them. He didn’t like wrap his foot around it to put curve on it. They weren’t what I would say traditional crosses. He was just hitting a ball in to an area flat and fast and more often than not Lukaku got on the end of them.

I don’t think RW, RM is a priority as we have the answer already in the squad. We just need to play faster and move the ball better so that we don’t give teams the chance to funnel back so we have to break down a wall of 8 or 9. That was the main difference Lukaku at Everton and Lukaku here.

 

[Alabaster Codify7]

If we don't sign a new RW this summer, and a new RB, we'll continue to be completelt predictable with every single attack coming down the left-hand side, ending with someone cutting back onto their right foot and having a pass into the box cut out.

For a manager so obsessed with balance within the team/squad, it's weird how Jose doesn't mind our right-hand side to be so out of sync compared to the left.

It's no wonder our attacking play is so repetitive.

 

[Ish]

Bale would be nice...

For the right fee and wages, that might make the gamble worth it, for sure.

But the fee Real would want, and his reported 600k per week wages with his injury record....no thanks.

Rather let Real struggle and worry about getting him off their wage bill.

Pulisic fits the bill and ticks numerous boxes for the marketing guys. A deal that makes sense.

So does Mourinho. Of course that'd mean needing to upgrade our full backs, though.

 

[breakout67]

Griezmann or Dybala as forwards that move inside, with a better RB behind them.

 

[SteveW]

Alexis Sanchez

 

[Nishrai46]

We should be trying Alexis there and play Martial/Rashford onto the left like we were doing it earlier. Our non existing threat from the right is baffling. It's like we hoping to fly with just the one wing.

 

[GloryHunter07]

Good post.

Feck dont remember writing that!

What do i know..

 

[100]

We just played an entire second half chasing a goal without going near 1/3 of the pitch, it was quite an achievement.

Yeah it's fecking soul destroying watching a United side with zero width.

Was a great shout that I for one wouldn't have even considered... because I thought Mkhitaryan was going to come good... that lasted until just after the transfer window shut! Shows what I know

 

[Bestietom]

No matter who we bring in this summer, they Must be specialist players in their positions. Sick of players playing out of position.

Make the right moves in Transfer market and get the right players for the positions we need most. We have already smothered the LW side and we need to cover the right side and Midfield areas.

 

[Tony247]

Justin kluivert is perfect long term option as RW. He is Eden Hazard on the right.
