Wasn't his best game yesterday but our tactics clearly left that switch to Harrison on every time. Most full backs would have suffered being 1v1 that often. He also can't be properly match fit.
He'll be fine for us at left back when we need him.

Ferdi in and it's a 9.
Plus, an upgrade on Igor or Webster and it's a 12.
This, assuming Rutter is the attacking CM.
If we get all three above and O'Riley it's a 17.
I think we really want a creative and goalscoring center mid. Hence trying for Dewsbury-Hall and linked with O'Riley. Looks like Rutter has all the right attributes so wonder if we plan on shifting him slightly further back. But tbh who knows lol.
Initial thoughts are that this is instead of O'Riley, maybe the price got too high and we saw better value in this deal in the end (despite costing more). He's quick, strong, two footed, creative and works hard. Center mid vibes.
We'll just have to wait and see who else comes in and out before...
Yeah his best ever form was right wing. Some of us are saying that with options we've got now and potential affects of his injury he could be a really good option at full/wing back.
Not saying Ferdi isn't better. Saying he wasn't a reject and a better team picked him up. You've gone from reject, to not one of their better players. He's played 55 times for Bayern in two seasons, including a load of injuries. He's decent and what Utd can afford, plus well known to Ten Hag.
Enough, yes. Enough proven quality, not so sure. Even O'Riley presents some risk/unknown at this level.
Neither do I. But if we don't get someone else in then I think Moder has a chance of staying.
I don't think he'd come here and is probably too much financially, but goalscoring, hardworking...
He's still under contract at Utd and doesn't have the legs anymore to play as a CM. He's an out and out no.10 now I think. We need a goal scoring box to box player.
Wonder if we still want this to happen after the Gruda deal. I think so as CM looks a bit weak to me still.
Interesting to see how this will develop having missed out on KDH. Do we have someone else lined up if O'Riley doesn't happen? Give Moder or Dahoud another chance?
Highly doubt it...
