Manchester United should take position gamble to fix £130m transfer concern

Diogo Dalot has been one of the biggest winners since Ralf Rangnick stepped into the Manchester United hotseat on an interim basis when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked.

Any change in manager results in fresh thinking, alterations and a potential shift in the pecking order.

Either side of his loan spell at AC Milan last season, the Portuguese - signed by Jose Mourinho - was seldom picked by Solskjaer and had to jet out to Italy to prove his undoubted worth.

And that development, initially, went unnoticed.

Providing better service and a more threatening attacking output than Aaron Wan-Bissaka, 22-year-old Dalot was the natural pick for Rangnick as he looked for United to take on board his trademark 4-2-2-2 formation.

While the innovative German performed a sharp U-turn on his tactics board, flavour of the month Dalot was firmly in credit and Wan-Bissaka has, ultimately, been made to play second fiddle as a result.

His time should come again, but United might be better served coupling that with a thought out 'gamble' that can result in a brighter future for Wan-Bissaka as both an individual and team player.

Comparisons between the former Crystal Palace man and Liverpool starlet Trent Alexander-Arnold have faded into the back-drop and United might, eventually, have to concede defeat in that particular argument.

Above anything, though, that comes down to vast changes in a position that is rapidly taking centre stage.

Such is the modern way, added onus has been put on full-backs to provide goals, assists and key passes.

With due respect to Wan-Bissaka, those requirements are not his forte, but he does offer other qualities that might, in turn, see him reassigned to centre-back.
