Manchester United: What we can expect from the Red Devils when the season starts

#4 Marauding fullbacks

With the fullbacks in United’s roster, the squad is shaping up to be one of those teams that keep their opposition very mindful of their fullbacks. With the capture of Wan-Bissaka, United now have a specialist right back to complement Shaw who was amazing on the left last season.

The team now has fullbacks that don’t require any invitation before bombing forward and joining attacks. The two full-backs will also compensate for the forward wingers who will likely be drifting inside. They will create natural width for United which was an area that the team looked to have ignored in some games last season.

Especially in tough games where the opponent will be compact and solid in defence, the fullbacks will give United another dimension in the final third. That is something that they seemed to lack towards the end of last season. With Shaw being named United's Player of the Season last campaign, the arrival of Wan-Bissaka couldn’t have come at a better time.
