For a 22-year-old, Lucas Hernandez has a plethora of experience compared to his age. At such an early stage in his career, he is already a World Cup winner, a Europa League winner and a Champions League runner-up.

Also capable of operating as a centre-back apart from a left-back, Hernandez has a pass success rate of 82.9%. He is also good in the air and wins 1.6 aerial duels per game. The Frenchman is a strong tackler who averages 2.1 tackles per game.

Having such a young player on your roster, one who comes with mammoth experience for his age, is definitely a boon.

For all that he offers to Atletico Madrid on the left-flank, Lucas Hernandez has been valued at £36 million. A World Cup winner at that price is nigh impossible to find, but United are lucky to be looking at one.
