One would hope so, because he doesn't seem to have any Brazilian football training.
Which current United player could beat the rest of the team in a fight?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Pogba. He’s done a bit of kickboxing hasn’t he? Don’t think any of the others have trained any mma. That said I reckon Harry’s pretty tidy after 6 pints
Probably Cavani.
Bruno can be a nasty thorn at times with his late tackles and stamps....but Matic all day.
100% the one United player from the first team you wouldn’t mess with
Tom Heaton would have them all.
Dan James can run around his opponents uncatchable to confuse them.
The bloke had serious anger issues and seemed to find pleasure in hurting people. But yeah, Bailly cos he's tall.
Keane was a boxer as a teenager. He was regularly in fights out on the town during his time at utd, he never backed down from anyone on the pitch either. does anyone remember ever hearing of him getting hurt? He’s clearly harder than you think.

Matic or McTominay.
From past squads: Fellaini wins without breaking a sweat

Bailly would smash these feckers all day long..
That’s just our league cup team to be fair
Matic, Maguire, Bailly, or one of the goalkeepers. Size and weight makes a massive difference in a fight, the biggest guys will win 9/10 times. There’d be an exception if one of the smaller guys had some kind of training or combat sport experience, which I doubt any of them do. Or maybe Bruno cause I think he’d fight dirty.
Mata. He has a killer hug. Literally his lastname is kill in spanish
I can just see Bruno being like Mickey (Brad Pitt) in Snatch. Looks like nothing and then bang
I’d pick Keane here. He also had a run in with big Pete didn’t he? He’s not a man that cares about size — not that he’s particularly small himself.
He’d be a solid featherweight in MMA. Hardly a midget.
My money would be on Bailly.
Maguire, McTominay, and Matic look certs. Brandon Williams also looks like someone with a lot of heart. I can imagine Bailly, Bruno and Cavani being quite scrappy too.
Nothing beats the mid-90s though. Keane, Cantona, Pallister, Schmeichel, young Butt, Ince and Hughes. That looked like an intimidating bunch.

Lindelof 
Mata definitely
Same, always thought he seems the type to be happy to throw them hands
Shout-out to skinhead Rooney. They don't make them like that anymore.
From this squad it's one of the veterans...Matic or Cavani.

Brandon Williams 100%! Isn't his cousin a pro boxer or something? Think I read that Brandon would regulary train with him.
Is Rojo still on our books? He's a bit useful.
Pogba...he looks scary
Tag team match ups would be fun over The Years .
Bruce / Pallister v Rio / Vidic
Rooney / Ronaldo v Keane / Cantona
Sparky / Choccy v Zlatan /Zlatan .....
so many you could match up like Celebrity death match

Matic. Telles looks dangerous. Cavani looks like he would quite happily snap you in half while smiling.
Phil Jones, surely. He doesnt feel pain anymore
If Phil Jones was as skilled in injuring others as he is himself then he could defeat entire armies.
Can we all agree that Marcus doesn't feature anywhere in this conversation?
Cavani
Maguire. Experience is underrated.
He was a boxer for a few years and won a few novice fights afaik. Let's face it, if he could hold his own against the likes of Viera, he can handle Pogba.
Of course. He's not a fighter; he's above that. Like how the Queen doesn't get involved in politics.
Between Deano, Harry, Scott, and Matic.
Keane would kick the shit out of any single one of our players barre maybe Matic.
I'm putting my money on Mctomminay. He's got a bit of Ivan Drago about him.
Size doesn't matter as much as you'd think.
I'm a 6'3" 100kg guy who has boxed out of Collhurst/Moston in Manchester and I have been slapped around by guys Keane's size in that gym. Heart, aggression and confidence in your ability goes much firther than just height/size trust me.
Could be totally anecdotal on my part but fighting a guy who wants to feck you up is scary no matter how much bigger you are

I'd go Matic
