Another interesting candidate for this slot - Ricardo Pereira plays for Leicester City and he must be adept in dealing with the physicality of the style of play in the Premier League by now.

The Portuguese international plays from the right flank and is capable of playing even much higher on the field if the situation demands the same.

He is someone who provides a definite threat on the other side of the pitch, with his crossing abilities and the tendency to even drift in, play a couple of passes before making another quick precise delivery inside the box through the inner channel.

He doesn’t compromise on his defensive duties despite his attacking prowess, as tackling is probably one of his strongest attributes. Pereira registers 3.6 tackles per match, in addition to 1.7 interceptions on an average too.

Pereira has already scored two goals and notched four assists in 28 Premier League appearances so far this season. He has quick feet and is level-headed enough to sense any offensive threat from the adversaries and thwart them accordingly.

Having already played in the Premiership, United should definitely consider him as a strong option as he can ably rotate with Dalot, who in turn likes to play as a right wing too at times.
