"Blind's played there, Rojo's played there, Shaw's played there, Darmian's played there, they can't button that one down. But Valencia at right-back has been absolutely fantastic."Valencia has become of the Premier League's top right-backs over the past season or so, after converting from being a traditional winger. The Ecuadorian was captain on Sunday and opened the scoring with a brilliant strike from outside of Everton's penalty area.
"He's been absolutely outstanding for the last 18 months, two years," Neville about Valencia.
"I had doubts as to whether it could last in the long term with him, I thought it was more of a stop-gap until they signed a right-back. But he's the real thing, he is a top right-back now. He's strong, quick, supports the attack, and doesn't make any mistakes. United don't need to sign a right-back. To think they signed Darmian as the right-back, Valencia is head and shoulders above him."It would be a shame if Shaw didn't fulfil his potential at United, as he looked like becoming one of the Premier League's best left-backs a few seasons ago. If none of the defenders are deemed worthy of inclusion at left-back, Mourinho will most likely strengthen in that position next, as the rest of his squad seems nicely balanced.
