NTC with a Positive attitude
People on Redcafe saying he's a 5 a side player - has the odd nice touch or meg in the middle of the park but totally flatters to deceive as a player. Totally agree with them - he'd look good in a cage in South London (as some of them say) but anyone who has played football knows this guy is never in a million years close to a top level 11-a-side player.

Some nifty technique here and there (though hit and miss with it) and some United fans hang onto these moments, which ultimately amount to nothing. He has good feet for a big man sometimes, but there's just absolutely nothing about him as a player. Slow and weak for his height, cannot cover ground, mediocre passer, can't finish or score, can't dribble, and really fools people into thinking he's decent with a few moments in a game where he shows tidy feet in the middle of the park.
If you would have to feild him, which positioin would you recon he would do best?
He doesn't seem to be a very good Striker or a CF. Doesnt have pace to play as a winger.
AM maybe?

Left back...in the dressing room.

Seriously, I doubt it matters. He's a very underwhelming player no matter his position. However, I guess he should play as one of the two behind the forward.

False 9 is your best bet, the later is essentially a playmaker for your wingers and AM, who will do the scoring while he does some playmaking or open spaces with them. Motta used him that way, but Manu needed a scoring beast.
