Manchester United v Club America - International Champions Cup 2018

#3 The right wing is still a weak point

United do not have an established name who could make it work in the right wing and that is the truth. Mata started there against Club America, but his lack of pace was evident all through the game.

Valencia looked good on the overlap on a couple of occasions, but you could see that with a good right winger ahead of him, the United Skipper could have an even great impact on games.

There is a whole dimension to United’s game missing due to that one glaring gap and Mourinho and Woodward should address the issue before the end of the Pre-Season. That would give the new signing time to get the partnerships right before the season starts. United’s performance next season will depend a lot on who plays consistently in the right wing for them.

Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life.
