Glen Johnson – His critics call him a decent winger playing at right-back. That may be a tad harsh, but Johnson is far from the complete package defensively. 6-10.
Rafael da Silva – He has been regarded as a highly promising full-back for too long. At the age of 24, it is now time for the Brazilian to step up and deliver big and consistent performances. He started just 18 Premier League last term, with Phil Jones and Chris Smalling deputising at right-back. However, the superior twin is likely to feature more regularly under Van Gaal. 6-10.
