Phil Jones or Fabio vs Heung-Min Son

South Korea international Heung-Min Son became Leverkusen’s record signing in the summer after completing his 10 million pound transfer from Hamburg.

The 21-year-old reportedly turned down a move to Old Trafford in favour of a move to the BayArena, and can be instrumental in Leverkusen’s plans. If he can get the better of Jones, returning from injury, or Fabio, United’s pursuit for an early win in the competition could be hampered.
