Fullbacks

Luke Shaw

The speedy left back was not involved in international duty due to a minor injury. He should be fit to retain his position. He has cooled down from the top form he hit in the last two months.

However, he is a decent option for United on that left side. There is no real competition unless the manager decides to push right-footed fullbacks such as Ashley Young and Matteo Darmian to that side. Shaw is certainly having his best run in a United shirt since he joined the club. He is quick and makes clever forward runs to provide that extra attacking option.

Ashley Young

Young was unused by his nation and should be fresh for the challenge. He is versatile and a genuine hard worker on the pitch. He is also pivotal when it comes to delivering crosses and set pieces into the box. If fit, he should start on either full-back flank positions. Captain Antonio Valencia is still working his way from surgery and is unlikely to start. Young's strengths will be crucial especially when it comes to looking for the taller target men who are in this lineup.
