Erik ten Hag is grateful to finally have competition at right-back after Aaron Wan-Bissaka started successive Manchester United matches for the first time since March.
The £50million defender deputised for the injured Diogo Dalot in the home wins over Burnley and Nottingham Forest in the League Cup and Premier League and is set to start at Wolves on New Year's Eve.
West Ham are interested in signing Wan-Bissaka on loan in the January transfer window but he is unlikely to be allowed to leave United when he is among their senior full-backs.
