Fernandes shouldn’t be the one United participant I take a look at and assume he’s a sq. peg in a spherical gap.

Once more you possibly can argue he ought to have the standard to adapt, and for Jeremy Doku to beat him so simply for the primary purpose was poor defending whether or not you’re a left-back or a centre-half, but when any gamers usually are not fully comfy of their roles, then it will have an effect on the workforce.

Noussair Mazraoui comes out to Foden however cannot cease him enjoying a move across the nook, Leny Yoro will get rolled by Jeremy Doku – the one participant you understand you aren’t getting tight to – then Shaw shouldn’t be sturdy or quick sufficient to cease Erling Haaland.
