Fullbacks need to be any of these 3 things to be worth it

—Massively contributing to defending (Ferland Mendy)
—Massively contributing to attacking (Trent/Marcelo)
—Special and specific tactical piece (Zinchenko/Cancelo)

If they are fully not any of these 3 things, not worth it

It is so insane to me that United fans are focusing on a homegrown LW to pour the frustrations of an entirely bad team on when it is not his responsibility to make the team good.

Guess who is benefiting & getting away from scrutiny in this situation? The manager & management.

When you want to talk about finances, it is important to focus on wages and money spent on incomings as well as the value of the squad rather than things like “net spend” which can be inflated by the sales of top squad players & academy players.

How did they have such assets to…

As the primary 6. If that playmaking responsibility is split between two instead, it makes sense.

Frenkie also has a very stable brain and a better judgement of when to be vertical. Him and Rice are stable for how we want to play.
