Manchester United 0-1 West Brom: 5 Talking Points

1) Left-back position still problematic for the Red Devils

Young has been Man United's make-shift left-back this season

Throughout the season, many Man United fans have been frustrated by the fact that the club has failed to land a competent player to occupy the left-back spot. Jose Mourinho has preferred Ashley Young in that role, however, the England international has often been a big disappointment.

In the loss against West Brom, Young cut a frustrated figure and was wasteful when presented when chances of laying a cross into the opposition box. The Old Trafford faithful witnessed many frustrating moments when the former Aston Villa man could just have whipped in a cross with his left foot but opted to twist and turn the ball to his right foot before trying to find a teammate.

Luke Shaw’s reported fall out with Mourinho means he may not be playing in the first team anytime soon. However, if Man United really want to challenge for top honours next season, then a proper left-back is needed to provide that attacking threat.
