Out of the five Manchester United signings brought in by Erik ten Hag this summer, just one started Sunday’s game at Aston Villa and only Leny Yoro had the excuse of injury.
Fans are hoping he will show more assurance than Matthijs De Ligt, who only took to the field at Villa Park due to Harry Maguire’s injury, following a difficult opening few months.
Noussair Mazraoui was the sole new recruit to begin the match but arguably only did so due to a full-back injury crisis. Diogo Dalot continues to fill in at left-back amid the ongoing setbacks to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, but would be the first choice at right-back when either returns.
Joshua Zirkzee was always going to be the back-up when Rasmus Hojlund recovered from injury.
