As a striker he&#8217;s scored 67 career goals from 130 games, as a left winger it&#8217;s 19 in 59, and then from the right it&#8217;s 9 in 49. He can also sit a little further back in midfield, where his vision and skill on the ball can open up space for others ahead of him.<\/p>\n<p>Usually positioned on the right wing, his main attributes are his remarkable pace and directness, which would be of interest to any top club. But, despite being previously linked with Chelsea, it&#8217;s easy to see how he could fit at Manchester United alongside new signings Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha &#8212; though one of them would presumably have to drop to the bench to fit into Ruben Amorim&#8217;s 3-4-2-1 formation.<\/p>\n<p>Still, if United want to add more firepower and directness up front, they might be able to take advantage of his contract situation and get themselves a bargain as his strained relationship with coach Niko Kovac is apparently causing some tension.<\/p>\n<p>OTHER RUMORS<img class=\" lazyload lazyload\"\/>play<\/p>\n<p>2:04<\/p>\n<p>Why is Kylian Mbappe feuding with a French rapper?<\/p>\n<p class=\"contentItem__subhead\">Julien Laurens explains why the feud between Kylian Mbappe and French rapper Orelsan might be down to a misunderstanding.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; There have been no talks between James Rodr\u00edguez and Orlando City, despite reports to the contrary.
