Rdd, wasn't it just a few weeks ago that you wanted us to sign a "right-sided" winger because our current ones are no good?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I wanted us to sign a Left footed winger to add something different to the squad.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We already have Rash and Martial who drift to the left, and James who is better on the left. On the right we have nothing.

So a right winger for me is what is needed, but good to see you acknowledge that we need a winger.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Greenwood and James on the Right.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Greenwood isn't a winger and James not good enough.

Are we going to compete at the top with these right wing options?

Greenwood and James on the Right.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

James has been massively underwhelming this season. There have been a few decent games, but all of them on the left. He has been consistently awful on the right.

Greenwood you've already described as too inexperienced to risk leaving the squad as one of two back-ups for CF. But it's not high risk having him as the first choice on the right?

James ??? Do you really think a player like James has a future in the PL ?

Greenwood isnt a winger, just like Rashford and Martial arent. They are wide forwards. As is Sancho.

I think we signed him for a reason and would be surprised to see Ole write him off after 1 season.

How many in the Prem got 18 goals from the Right? Salah. Maybe Pulisic.

No. It's very common for young forwards tonstartvout wide. He has had a cracking season and I'd be happy to see more of the same next season. He wouldnt get a look in if we signed Sancho.

Whisper it quietly, but some players can play more than one role.

Rashford Martial Greenwood

Take 1 or 2 out of the above line up for any prolonged period of time and name the line up from the current squad that would allow us to challenge for top 3 again.

Then tell me what we need

We need exactly what all of us think... To improve our attacking squad members.

99.9% of people here think that the right side of attack is the weakest. You think otherwise.

But the thinking is still the same, we can't lose 2 key attacking players without looking much weaker.

Take two out of that line-up and we have a crisis in availability of wide forwards unless we sign Sancho or similar.

Rashford - Ighalo - Sancho is a great front line.

Rashford - new striker - James gives me much less confidence

Haven't seen much of him, but he gets described as a winger who can create from out wide.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's because he comes inside as he's a striker. He doesn't create from out wide. We need a play who can.

As you like hypotheticals.

Say we get a striker as our only attacking signing and then Greenwood gets injured, who would you play on the right? James?

If we signed Sancho (who can play either side)... we'd have

Left options - Rashers, Sancho, James, Martial
Center options - Martial, Greenwood, Rashers, Ighalo
Right options - Sancho, Greenwood, James, Mata

Seems far more balanced to me.

Show me one top European team who has a player like James. We are Man United, players like James shouldn't be anywhere near us. Just watch him carefully, he's a joke of a player.

No more so than Rashford or Martial do from the Left and yet you arent calling out for a left winger.

Why does it have to be current players, as we are surely going to sign someone?

No one is saying the current options are fine for next season.

Because we are discussing what we need to add to the squad and what the priority is.

Because right wing is higher priority as we are worse at creating from that side.

Plus many wingers can play both sides anyway.

Well, Greenwood is first choice ar RW and he was more productive than Rashford this season so why arent we looking to improve on the left?
