Alvaro Fernandez has been impressing while on loan this season. The Manchester United loanee has been a regular starter in the Preston North End side, making 12 appearances so far this season.
Playing three at the back, Preston have the best defensive record in the Championship, only conceding 10 goals so far this season and Fernandez has been deployed on the left-hand side. This is good news for United as the youngster had been showing great potential in the development squads and so needed to prove he could make the step up.
Fernandez will, however, want to improve his output going forward. Under Erik ten Hag, United's full-backs have been more involved further up the pitch and provide the team with more options to use during attacks.
