Genuine question because I don’t really watch non united football anymore. Is there any high quality wingers that don’t play on opposite wings to what they traditionally would? ie right footers on the left.
Slightly worrying thing about seeing this is the amount of great runs his team mates made yet he didn't seem to see them, and if he did, it was too late.
Gelson martins and I think leon bailly play on their stronger side(ie not inverted wingers), Lemar plays on left sometimes but think he shouldnt count.
It looks that way because he's left footed. Malcom actually uses his weaker foot as much as Martial and Rashford use theirs.
His vision guaranteed, is not his greatest strenght. But he's a winger, not a playmaker though and he has good vision and passing for a winger. Watch the other video.
Please please please sign Malcolm, or mahrez or a genuine right winger.
Just looked at the line up versus the foxes today and very disappointed to see either Mata or lingaard starting on the wing. Both are half the players when player in the wide positions.
Fear that today will be a struggle with a dispointted attack of players lacking basic winger qualities and wanting to keep coming central

Not all players are suited to English football, let alone United.
People want a RW to provide crosses to Lukaku, but Malcom is poor with his right leg. He can finish with the right, but cant cross.
Mourinho will play him in the left?
I dont believe any of those links because hes obviously not a Mourinho player.
We should sign an older player like Mahrez or William.

Mourinho has always liked his wingers to cut inside so I wouldn't say he doesn't suit him. All for this signin.
People might want a winger to provide crosses, but its a bit daft to buy an attacker for the sole purpose of adding crosses. Its ineffective and quite old school. Reminds me of when Dalglish got Downing to provide crosses for Carroll.
Crosses is easy to defend against if its the key strategy. As an option it is okey, but I would prefer that the fullbacks add this dimension.
That being said, Malcolm has provided 102 crosses this year (25 accurate). Only KdB and Eriksen at the top six has more (107 and 31 accurate and 104 and 24 accurate) but they has also played more.
I do think we are interested. He fits the profile, if we get him is another matter.
I always tend to believe rumors more when a loan deal is involved for some reason
Reminds me of Pedro out of Napoleon dynamite with that tash.
Doesn't look good enough to be honest. From the little I see from him he'd probably flop here.
That's probably bullshit but it'd be a good deal loaning him back and at that fee.
Never heard of him
I'd be interested to know the reason for loaning him back. If it was for another year or longer then you could argue it's to allow him to acclimatise etc, but what will a few more months do that he couldn't get here?
I think it'd be an underestimation of the effect it can have on the place to see an exciting young player come in. It's not as though we have great options on the right anyway.

Probably to make the transfer easier for the selling club, means they don't have to rush out and try replace him in 3 weeks.
His name is just brilliant. That is enough of a reason to buy him. I can see him lighting up Old Trafford if he came.
I try not to read too much into what Jose says, but this might be a situation where we can: the article states the player has a gentleman’s agreement that he can leave in the summer. This could be a way of adhering to that whilst securing our business.
Interesting that neither of them are even wingers.
Like you say wingers that just run down the line and cross are ineffective and aren't good enough for top teams. As much as someone on here like to bang in about it. There is a reason no top club uses them.
The price goes up with each tweet.
Was just going to say. Getting higher every time I come into this thread.
Seen enough of Bordeaux games. I am afraid this boy is just a less version of Lucas PSG. And i dont really fancy of Brazilian attackers in current EPL culture. They seem won't cut it. And most of them weak in positional discipline.
But perhaps Mou has a plan that we dont know. Personal opinion only. If playing cross is the purpose perhaps we should scout for European players.

Always wanted a one-name Brazilian wonder-kid. Looks quite good too which is a bonus.
Stop coming in then ffs

I'm hearing now Bordeaux asking for £50M with a loan back to the club for the first year. I know the market is crazy now but that seems like too much for a guy like Malcom. He's good in the sense of an up-and-coming player, but not at that price and with a year of waiting for him to develop further. I'd rather get Pulisic for some more money. He's not exactly setting the Bundesliga on fire right now, his price might not be such a big leap from what Malcom would cost by the next tweet on this transfer rumor.
Apparently he's very reliable according to /r/reddevils:
This is their transfer reliability guide:
https://www.reddit.com/r/reddevils/wiki/transfer-reliability-guide
Sam Lee is reliable for City. Doesn't usually cover United but he is a United fan. Might be something in it... though paying 50M for a player and loaning them back for the rest of the season sounds ridiculous.
He doesn't really cover United. Only City so this is a bit new. He is good with City coverage though and him being a United fan might mean he's less likely to post shit... maybe.
100% left-footed watching the showreel - think we need a few more players that can use both feet equally well
City fans on Reddit reckon he wouldn't have said anything without having a good source on it.
Yeah, City fans absolutely love him.
Interesting that Sam Lee is a United fan. Thought he was a City fan and their fans love him. I hope he's wrong about this potential transfer for Malcom though. Mahrez with Kluivert on loan for the rest of the season would be a better long term investment.
Malcom in the middle of the season.
