The Red Devils have had trouble at left - back, with Jose Mourinho trying various
options in that position with the likes of Matteo Darmian, Daley Blind and Luke Shaw all getting a shot.
A left back as a replacement for the outgoing Alberto Moreno is sought, but James Milner will still be considered as a first - team
option in that position next season.
The Dutchman's wish - list consists of a new right - back, central defender, central midfielder, winger and striker and there are already
several options in each position for the 63 - year - old.
Moving to left - back, Daley Blind perhaps looks United's best
option in this position for next season after playing various roles in 2014/15.
The Blues are not exactly starved of
options in that position at the moment, but it may be that Jose Mourinho is keen to bring in the former Ipswich Town man as a replacement for Filipe Luis, who has struggled to impress this season since making the move to Stamford Bridge from Atletico Madrid.
He may not be at Coutinho's level, but it's likely he wouldn't be the club's first choice anyway as Don Balon also mentions Arsenal's Mesut Ozil, Lyon's Nabil Fekir and Gremio's Arthur
as options in that position.
I think, we already have
enough options in this position, because we all shout for a 20 - 25 goal a striker... Last season... And we got Sanchez... What is just 2 quality players.
@Legendary, I tend to agree with most of what you have said but Central Midfielder is the last we need at the moment because we have enough of them in my opinion, at least two
reliable options in each position + standbys.
However, I find it very interesting that Le Prof still continues to sign teenage midfielders, although Fortune can also play on the wing or as central striker, when the club have a multitude
of options in that position in the first - team and even more so in the academy, the acquisition of Polish youngster Krystian Bielik is another example.
With Rafael the only available natural right - back for van Gaal currently and the Brazilian struggling to find form and fitness, a
new option in the position wouldn't go amiss.
Although the signing of a penalty box poacher moves somewhat against the philosophy of the club under previous recent managers Pep Guardiola and Tito Vilanova, Martino believes his side are currently lacking an out - and - out goal - scorer, and hopes to sign a short -
term option in that position.
I had clearly stated COMPARED to those players they are the weak links as City have better
options in them positions come monday... ur going to tell me that Mert is better than Otamendi?
Ezequiel Garay, an option Sampaoli would dearly love to be able to call upon, has asked not to be called up for international duty due to fitness issues, and as with central midfield, Argentina — a nation once stacked with world -
class options in the position — doesn't have many other great choices here.
We've analysed the statistics of the four men in question — Ashley Young, Daley Blind, Matteo Darmian and Luke Shaw — to see who should be considered the first -
choice option in the position.
Chris Cohen has had his injury problems this season, which leaves David Vaughan, Ben Osborn and Liam Bridcutt as their only
other options in that position.
Unfortunately, the Ivory Coast forward has ended up playing more than expected due to injuries to the other frontmen, and this may force Mourinho to look into bringing in more
reliable options in that position, according to the Daily Express.
Sorry but while some players may need an arm round the shoulder they still have to be iintelligent enough to realise that they can't be the
only option in their position.
But a healthy 48 % of our Twitter voters feel that Southampton's Ryan Bertrand and PFA Team of the Year left - back Danny Rose should be Hodgson's two
options in that position for the tournament.
In addition, although Laurent Blanc has assembled a world - class squad, he does not have a wealth
of options in this position were he allowed to leave.
The Gunners are being linked with a number of players, mostly in defence and midfield, and could also bring in a new attacker to improve
their options in that position, according to recent reports.
Arsenal do have
options in that position, with Elneny, Ramsey and the fit again Coquelin, so is it time for Xhaka to step aside until he can sort himself out?
For all those thumbing down anything good said about Perez here, you guys are gonna come back here in the next couple of weeks to apologize... Take it or Leave it, he is better than
all our options in the position, great footballing sense, good speed a good passer, a shooter with both foot, He will be great with our type of mid field cos he will get lots of feeding...
A classy attack - minded right - back, Daniel Carvajal is not a guaranteed starter for Real Madrid this season, but could certainly be a good buy for Chelsea to improve
their options in that position.
With Chelsea relying on injury - prone pair Diego Costa and Loic Remy, there's no doubt Benteke would be a useful addition to provide
another option in that position.
Will need to try
an option in that position against Koln
England may have plenty of
options in some positions but creative attacking midfield is not one of them.
United are also reportedly looking at a number of other
options in that position, with the Mail mentioning interest in Lazio star Sergej Milinkovic - Savic, Shakhtar Donetsk ace Fred, and Real Madrid's Toni Kroos.
I know allot of fans are happy with
our options in this position, but if we can get Kante, we should.
