Marcus Rashford says summer arrivals Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez are all versatile and capable of playing in a several different positions.
Erik ten Hag’s preference for versatility is no secret, having attained a number of players who can play in different positions during his time at Ajax. So it came as no surprise to see the Reds boss bring Martinez to Manchester United. Martinez is a specialist centre-back but also has experience at left-back and in holding midfield.
Eriksen is predominantly an attacking midfielder but showed at Brentford he can occupy a slightly deeper role if required. And Malacia could easily operate as a wing-back as well as his more traditional left-back position.
