Past his midfield versatility, Ferdinand believes Lewis-Skelly’s capacity to play at left-back makes him a super tactical addition for the Purple Devils. Whereas Luke Shaw stayed match and featured closely final season, United lack pure backup in that place.
Ferdinand famous that Patrick Dorgu is now thought of extra of a left-winger, whereas Noussair Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot should not pure left-backs. Bringing in Lewis-Skelly would instantly resolve that squad depth concern.
“He’s younger, an enormous expertise, can play in two positions and I believe mentally he’s product of the best stuff,” he defined. “The left-back place at Manchester United is just not an issue as a result of we’ve received Luke Shaw who performed a number of video games final season and stayed match.
“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 believe you may usher in somebody like Myles Lewis-Skelly and he can play man, undoubtedly.”
