Should he be concerned about his place at Manchester United? Could he finally get his chance? The reign of Ralf Rangnick gets underway at Old Manchester on Sunday.

The Manchester United player scored his 800th career goal in the game against theArsenal.
There's no escaping it, a Gegenpress and a CR7 mix about as well as oil and water.
No one is expecting one of the greatest players of all time to be training with the U23s for the rest of the season, but that doesn't mean the coach won't let him go if he thinks the team needs something else.
The two frontmen that were used the most often were Yussuf Poulsen and Timo Werner. In the final third of the pitch, Werner and Poulsen were second and third, respectively, for winning the ball back.
Compare and contrast with the Portuguese star who is 46th in the league in terms of strikers and wingers. His pressing game is not his style. It's not a match made in heaven, but it will become an interesting spectacle if Rangnick can find a way to work around it consistently.
The man is Nemanja Matic.
Is speculation linking Man Utd with a new defensiveMidfielder meaning that Matic's days are numbered at Old United?
In January, Amadou Haidara was linked to Manchester United, as he worked with Rangnick at RB Leipzig. Who is most likely to be his replacement? The top of the list should be occupied by Matic.
The intensity of the new manager's game doesn't suit him at 33, as evidenced by the fact that Matic performed well in United's draw at Chelsea on Sunday. The Serbian has never been an all-action middle man, and with other more mobile options available to Rangnick, it could spell danger.
Scott McTominay, 58th on the list, ranks significantly higher than Nemanja Matic, 80th, in terms of intensity, and Fred's pressing has been the second-most intense in the league.
Shaw is a person.
Shaw's recent loss of form may have cost him his place in the new-look United.
Shaw was England's first-choice left-back at Euro 2020 and scored in the final, but it was not enough to save England.
Things haven't gone well since. Alex Telles has not been used to the best of his ability since he arrived from Porto last October, and the arrival of Rangnick could make things worse for the 26-year-old.
How did Alex Telles andluke Shaw compare last season?
The new coach likes his full-backs to be able to support his forwards, and Telles has a more natural attacking option.
"I'm not so sure if Shaw is still on the same level you need to be for a club like Manchester United, I know they have a left-back but I'm not so sure if he's still on the same kind of level."
I'm not so sure if Shaw is still up to the level that he needs to be for a club like Manchester United.

Football Daily is on November 25, 2021.
Shaw and Telles have both played for Manchester United, but Shaw has only played 799 minutes in the top flight, while Telles has only played in the second tier.
The winners were announced.
De Beek was by Donny van de Beek.
The attributes of Donny van der Beek are suited to the Gegenpress philosophy.
The forgotten man at Manchester United is arguably the best equipped or suited to the Gegenpress philosophy.
He was frozen out of the first-team picture at Old Manchester but his rise at Ajax and occasional brilliance at the club leaves him in a good position to flourish under a new direction.
The success of United will be dependent on their ability to win back possession high up field and register an attack on the opposition goal immediately, and Van de Beek has attributes that would be foolish to ignore if he wanted his objectives to be achieved.
One of the few all-round players in United's squad who are equipped to carry out every facet of the game is Van de Beek, who has the ability to glide while carrying the ball, his eye for a pass, and his ruthless finish.
Jesse Lingard.
Could Jesse Lingard be brought back in from the cold when his days at Man Utd were numbered?
With Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in situ, Jesse Lingard's future looked destined to be away from Old Trafford, but the arrival of Rangnick could breathe life into his Manchester United career at the 11th hour.
Lingard's ability to link the defence and attack with the ball at feet is something that could prove priceless for the United dressing room, as he looks to impart his philosophy to the team.
Lingard's lack of game-time was a disappointment to Moyes.
Lingard's loan spell at West Ham was a success, and his goals helped the Hammers qualify for Europe.
Scott McTominay is a man.
Scott McTominay is a mercenary, can Ralf Rangnick help him?
Scott McTominay's qualities as a creator and a goal scorer were not given the chance to flourish during Solskjaer's tenure because of his firefighting duties in front of United's porous defence.
McTominay has been given the license to venture forward whenever he has been given it, and there have been times when he has displayed the talent which earned him a fearsome reputation as a strikers.
McTominay has more in his locker than his label would suggest. The question is whether or not the talents of those who have been with him can be eeked out on a more consistent basis.
