6. Wing-Back

❓ Which are the Players in the Premier League that could help the Manchester United squad the most?

🥇 João Pedro 🥇
🔵 Brighton 🔵
✅ 88% Fit ✅

🔹 The Brazilian Player is one of the best attacking talents in the league. Already with great performances at Centre-Foward and Attacking-Mid, João Pedro stands out for his ability on the ball. In the same fashion, for a player that plays in this positions, João Pedro has all the skills to make it in the top teams.

🥈 Alexander Isak 🥈
⚫️ Newcastle ⚫️
✅ 82% Fit ✅

🔸 The Swedish Player is, for us, the Best Centre-Foward in the Premier League right now. In addition to that, Alexander Isak is a versatile player since he already played at Left-Winger in past seasons. Finally, Isak guarantees everything a team like United needs: goals, great on the ball, great off the ball and even good physically. With the addition of a player of this calibre, United gain another attacking solution that allows them to play with two Centre-Forwards.

🥈 Dango Ouattara 🥈
🔴 Bournemouth ⚫️
✅ 82% Fit ✅

🔹 The player from Burkina Faso is, for us, one of the most in-form players in the Premier League right now. Particularly as a winger that likes to drible , to 1v1 and progress the ball foward, Ouattara is a great disruptor. In this situation, United dont have a player like him in the Left-Wing: great on the ball, good physically, rapid with and without the ball, with defensive intensity and great at 1v1s – all reasons as that Ouattara would be a great signing.

🥈 Harvey Barnes 🥈
⚫️ Newcastle ⚫️
✅ 82% Fit ✅

🔸 Harvey Barnes is an English Left-Winger that’s been on our radar since the Leicester City days. Obviously with solid performances as a Left-Winger, Barnes stands out for his ability on the ball. For the most part, for a player that plays in this position, Barnes is great at progressing the ball by carries and passes as well as creating chances out of difficult spots.

🥉 Kaoru Mitoma 🥉
🔵 Brighton 🔵
✅ 77% Fit ✅

🔹 Surprisingly, the Japonese Player is on this list after a difficult time with injuries. To begin with, Mitoma is a great player that surprised the world with great 1v1 skills as a Left-Winger. In addition to that, Mitoma was considered one of the best driblers in the league, progressing the ball really well and creating chances after chances. Finally, Mitoma guarantees qualities that Man United really needs at Left-Winger!

🥉 Elliot Anderson 🥉
🔴 Nottingham Forest 🔴
✅ 77% Fit ✅

🔸 After that move to leave Newcastle in the summer of 2024, Elliot Anderson has already found a place to shine. For instance, in the Nottingham Forest squad, Elliot is the player that controls the flow and pace of the midfield: with great ball skills, really good at the passing aspect and solid in the defensive actions, he is the complete package of a midfielder. With this in mind, and with this signing, United gain another solution to the midfield.

🥉 Rayan Ait-Nouri 🥉
🟡 Wolves 🟡
✅ 77% Fit ✅

🔹 For instance, Ait Nouri is the only Wing-back present in this list. The Algerian Player is, for us, the Wing-Back most ready to join the Man United team right now. In addition to that, Ait Nouri is a versatile player since he already played at Left-Back, Left Wing-Back and Centre-Back in this season. Finally, Ait Nouri guarantees everything a team like United expects from a Wing-Back in the Ruben Amorim system: great on the ball, great off the ball play, ease to creat good chances from the wing and even great defensive intensity. With this in mind, and with this signing, United get a guarantee starter and an instant upgrade.
