McNair is actually a defensive midfielder
Young Northern Irishman Paddy McNair may be one of the most highly rated young players in the academy at United – but he is naturally a defensive midfielder and that could well be where his long term future lies, despite some recent performances filling in at centre back for the club’s Under 21 side, with coach Warren Joyce suggesting that it may take some time for him to settle on a decision. Would playing McNair really be any difference to switching the likes of Michael Carrick out of position?
