Perfect for Role
The wing-backs are central to Ruben Amorim’s system, tasked with providing relentless energy, attacking impetus, and defensive stability.
They must seamlessly cover the length of the pitch while also serving as key outlets in build-up play, offering width and composure under pressure.
Alphonso Davies embodies these qualities, making him an ideal fit for Manchester United’s evolving approach.
Amorim has already identified a lack of physicality as a major weakness in United’s squad.
Davies’ athleticism, pace, and stamina would immediately address this issue.
Enabling him to dominate the flanks and maintain high intensity across 90 minutes.
Additionally, with no traditional wingers in Amorim’s setup, the responsibility of creating chances often falls on the full-backs.
Davies’ offensive output – 29 goals and assists during his time at Bayern Munich, demonstrates his ability to deliver in the final third.
His presence would inject the attacking threat United currently lack from these areas.
