Euuh...Manchester United's right back position is kind of weak..Gary Neville is injured and is not that good in my mind...Wes Brown is more of a Center Back..I like Gerrard Pique and would like to see more of him...but some may disagree with me..should we get another right back?Or test him ?
Right back position?

Neville is quality and our captain. Some people have very short memories. Just because Gaz hasnt played in ages doesnt mean he still cant come back and do the job he has ALWAYS done. Anyway Wes has filled in superbly. We have O'Shea who can fill in. We have Simpson and Pique who are excellent prospects. Evans can play there also.
Would be be letting Bardsley go out on loan if we were short of options at RB?
I dont think so!

Don't think United need to buy another right back with the current crop of youngsters coming through. But it probably will happen!

I disagree that Gary Neville is 'not that good'. He's been one of United and England's most reliable defenders for over a decade. I can count on one hand the number of mistakes I remember him making for club and country.
Other than that I do agree that we look a little weak at right-back. Brown, O'Shea, Hargreaves, Pique and Simpson can all fill in there but only Simpson could be regarded as a natural in that position and he is very inexperienced.
I thought Bardsley had a future at United but I hear today that he has gone on loan to Sheffield United for 3 months so he won't be getting his chance in the 1st team.
Micah Richards is the ideal replacement but he would be very expensive and difficult to buy. Can you recommend any other right-backs?

Gary Neville is still our captain, to me anyway even if no one else he is an important United player. He has always played an important part with Beckham and Ronaldo and he is very vocal - which is not always such a bad thing!reddwarf said:

I think if United in the latter part of the season are comfortable at the top (assuming United will be there) Pique with Brown will get more of an opportunity and Fergie may rest Vidic and/or Ferdinand for bigger Cl games come the latter stages of that!
Pique is a bright prospect, I just hope another defensive signing won't ruin the chance of him getting a chance at United!

its a new age a comin and a new right back is inevitable, whoever it is, is gonna be inexperienced compared to neville, simpson in my opinion is the right choice if he was to toughen up a little, gives a good balance for evra. o'shea, brown and pique are all worthy of the position but none of them are right backs if you catch me drift. whoever plays, im supportin them
Simpson is a great talent.rooneyNo10 said:What about danny simpson he played well the other day, he's gonna be good in a few years too and brown is good enough to take over until then. Would love to have richards but i think the club won't want to spend more money any time soon!
Can't agree with you..Emmanuel Eboue is better...Micah Richards is better...Alves is better...the list goes on....andycole9 said:
