One of Solskjaer's earliest decisions was reinstating Luke Shaw back into the team and the youngster has not disappointed so far. He has been heavily involved in the build-up play and has a great passing average. His partnership with Martial up front has also been noteworthy. But Shaw has not just impressed while going forward, he has been solid at the back too. He is fearless in his challenges and is not afraid to throw his body on the line. Luke Shaw is Solskjaer's preferred left back so far and should remain so for the rest of the season.


Right-Back - Ashley Young (Captain)

This is an area of concern for Solskjaer because it is a weak point in his team right now. Dalot has done a commendable job whenever he has been drafted in, however, he lacks the experience to carry on the job week-in-week-out. With club captain Valencia failing to impress, Solskjaer has put his trust on Ashley Young to carry out a job on the right side of the defense and the Englishman has been decent so far.

Even though Young does have a few flaws when operating on the right, he is still United's safest best role right now, and until Dalot gathers some more experience, should continue as the right back for Solskjaer's best XI.
