Wingers will always catch the eye. It's arguably the most exciting and threatening position in a football team; operating in those areas of unpredictability, where freedom exists and risks are taken along with responsibility.

So much comes from the wide positions; the art of one-on-one battles over the course of 90 minutes - those players constantly looked for by others, in search of a spark.

The Premier League is blessed with them; Manchester United could yet be. Right now though, you'd struggle to place Erik ten Hag's wide-men up there with the best the top flight has to offer.

Jack Grealish has exploded under Pep Guardiola this season to go with Riyad Mahrez and versatile duo Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden.
