Van Gaal liked Valencia because he could play RB as well as right-mid. I don't remember too many occasions where LvG played him there though.
He's got half the attributes of a wing-back in that he's quick and likes to get forward but I always thought he was lacking defensively. The West Ham game springs to mind where he repeatedly committed fouls gifting Payet free-kick after free-kick.
Although very discipled, there's now Mkhitaryan ahead of him in the pecking order, and I struggle to see him getting game time. We've also got 3 younger prospects as cover in Januzaj, Rashford and Lingard. As well as Mata.
He's been a loyal servant, but if Jose doesn't see him as a RB then he may be off.
