5 areas where Manchester United need to strengthen next summer

#2. Right-Back

Valencia has been consistent for United at right back

Even though Antonio Valencia is one of the first names on the team sheet and the team's best players, he turns 33 at the start of next season and will not be around forever.

The mercurial Ecuadorian has received plaudits for his level of consistency, bombing down the right wing time and again. It is easy to forget Valencia has played the best part of his career further up the pitch, as a right winger, and used to don the famous No.7 jersey at Manchester United, usually given to an attacker with special abilities.

The Red Devils do not have a genuine back-up to Valencia, and this shows whenever Jose decides to rotate his squad. Matteo Darmian, albeit featuring on the Serie A team of the year in 2014 and 2015 has failed to replicate his performances for the Manchester club despite showing early promise.

Manchester United need a right back next summer, who can play as a back-up or eventually replace Antonio Valencia in the team.

Fabinho is a player that could be brought into the team from Monaco, with his versatility to play at right back and midfield being an asset to any manager.
