I don’t think that’s proof he wasn’t positionally suspect. He had the pace and stamina to recover, and he was just a lot better going forward imo. He was a very good defender, no question about it. Was he one of the best in the world? Not imo, and not nearly as good as Irwin. That’s not a slight on Evra by the way, more a homage to Irwin.

For those who’ve seen more of him, is he an option for our right wing in a pinch?
Nope.
I'd say Baines is a decent comparion actually.
If we can get a similar impact that he had on the Everton team it could work excellently. I just hope he gets forward and times his overlaps a lot better than Shaw managed - think he will be getting a lot of assists from that.
I would be very happy if we got that impact.
We’ve not seen any of it from Bruno at Utd, but is he a player who can get in the box and head the ball? It’s an area Pogba should be good at as well.
Unfortunately can’t see any of Greenwood, Rashford or Martial getting in the end of crosses. Obviously Cavani could make that difference.
The Brazilian Steve Guppy 
Absolutely 100%. Will allow Telles to develop his game with us / in the Premier League and allow AWB to develop his attacking game (we saw improvements after winter break but he was knackered towards July), all whilst allowing the CB's to develop some form and we get some clean sheets in to gain defensive confidence. To me it's the obvious thing to do, but what do I know..
Edit: Hope he returns from Brazil's WC qualifying games in good shape

Yeah I still think it’s the way to go, at least for the next three/four games, until we have some form of composure at centre back.
I like the idea of giving Telles some game time straight away as well.
Posters have responded focussing on the attacking aspect of this suggestion, I’m talking more from a defensive perspective, to start more solidly after this international break.
It would be nice to see him get 25 mins
Do we think he'll start against PSG? I hope so
Excited to see him.
No
We'll be relying a lot on he and Wan-Bissaka to provide our width tonight. It'll be a little insight to see if a diamond is a viable formation in the future. Very excited to see him, let's hope his crosses are all they've been hyped up to be.
I for one am glad that we finally have a player with a top knot at last!
It's clear that we've been missing this modern innovation

Is that Alex Telles or Alex Telleckham? The bend on his crosses seem unreal so far.
I want to make most of the glitch of his thread being open to say he is beautiful.
"But Shaw is beter defensively"
Thought this forum was closed during the match?
If he never deliver a good corner again I couldn’t care less. Worth all the money for his corners in this one half. Bless you Alex
@Niall the forum close feature is borked.
Maguire will score a lot of goals from those corners, everyone in sure a good area for someone to attack the ball.
His crosses from corners are whipped with such vigor. Brings a tear to my eye.
And Cavani
Looks a right good baller.
Looking forward to see Cavani put his head on these beauties!
Slotted in seamlessly and his left foot is quality.
Those corners are vicious.
Bah, glitch in the Matrix. Thanks for letting me know.
Great crosser of the ball and we looked a genuine threat from corners with him taking them.
Those corners. feck.
Post match update: very much lived up to the hype.
His corner kicks are worth £10 million alone
Going to steal a post I saw.
His corners are worth 10m alone.

His corners from the right look a real threat
