Transfer Window Worries: Wingback

The Issue

Antonio Valencia has made a terrific transition from winger to full-time right back in recent years. His powerful running and offensive ability have made him a mainstay in the Manchester United team – validated by his Players’ Player of the Year Award for the 2016-17 season. However, Valencia is now on the wrong side of 30. The task of playing 90 minutes in each match is too much. Manchester United need a proper right back, not named Matteo Darmian, to help carry the load.
