Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag's problems in the right-back area continued during the Red Devils' Sunday night clash away at in-form Fulham.
With Aaron Wan-Bissaka drastically out of favour and first-choice right-back Diogo Dalot suspended, the United manager was left with little choice but to entrust Tyrell Malacia in the role. A left-back by trade, the young Dutchman seriously struggled at times - his inexperience in the position was clear to see.
United's right-sided wide-forward Anthony Elanga played like a man instructed to help out as much as he could defensively to try and protect Malacia, but it didn't always unfold as Ten Hag may have planned. Fulham knew which area they could get the most joy out of and targeted United's right-defensive flank throughout.
