As a left back/wing back... Damn. He started at Man U in desperation and did ok for a period. Just not good enough for an international team when Bertrand is at home. Jones is always injured as is Welbeck. With Welbeck, who else is there? Abraham isn't ready, Austin is always injured and Walcott isn't a striker. The cupboard is bereft outside of Kane and Vardy. And despressingly so.
I'd take Callum Wilson over Welbeck. Both have injury issues, but I'd take an internationally unproven striker in form over a proven international flop.
Ashley Young has quite a few genuine plaudits for his play this year, one of the few standouts in a dour United team. I agree I'd prefer Bertrand in the team, but not annoyed with the inclusion of Young as I am by some of the others.
Certainly looks like very little composure on the ball in the central midfield.
