Manchester United’s best XI after 11 Premier League matches

LB – Daley Blind

Mourinho clearly doesn’t fancy England left-back Luke Shaw, and the United manager’s recent comments aren’t going to go down well with the 21-year-old.

Subsequently, Daley Blind is likely deputise at left-back when Smalling returns from injury to partner Marcos Rojo, and he’s shown at times since his move to Old Trafford in 2014 that he’s more than capable of playing there.

The Dutch international had a shocker against Chelsea, as did most of the United team, but he can do a job at left-back, and has probably been better there this season than anyone else.
