Yesterday, I said two things:
✅ Dalot will always start at right wingback when he’s fit, he’s ahead of Mazraoui in that position.
✅ Mazraoui, who had been playing as a right centre-back in the back-three system, won’t start now because Yoro is back, and Yoro is our best defender right now. So Mazraoui will be on the bench and might come on later in the match.
But some fans started arguing without giving good reasons.
One person, Samal, said: “Dalot is only starting because he’s Portuguese, like the coach.”
My reply: “Oh right, because Ten Hag was also Portuguese?” .
Another person said: “You’re not even a real Manchester United fan.”
So what am I then? Do I have to agree with every opinion just to be called a true fan? Do I have to lie about what I see on the pitch?
Last time, when I supported Amorim, they said the same thing, that I wasn’t a real fan. But Amorim is the current Manchester United manager. 😅
So if I support Maresca or Arteta, does that make me a Leicester or Arsenal fan now?
Someone else said I’m “talking rubbish” and claimed Dalot is useless at both right back and left back.
My answer is simple: you're stuck in the past. Have you even watched how Amorim uses fullbacks or wingbacks?
In a standard fullback role, yes, Mazraoui might be better than Dalot. No argument there.
But in Amorim’s system with wingbacks, Dalot fits better and always starts.
