Ferdinand famous that Patrick Dorgu is now thought-about extra of a left-winger, whereas Noussair Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot are usually not pure left-backs. Bringing in Lewis-Skelly would instantly resolve that squad depth difficulty.

“But when he does get injured we haven’t received a pure left-back sitting there. Dorgu is extra of a left-winger now and Mazraoui and Dalot aren’t full left-backs. In order that’s an space I feel you possibly can usher in somebody like Myles Lewis-Skelly and he can play man, undoubtedly.”
