He hasn&#8217;t always been a first choice at PSG in his senior career and this has led to many rumours about a transfer to The Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>If he can focus on his football then this is a top talent in the making. A truly powerful and tireless full back who could solve a problem area in Manchester United&#8217;s squad.<\/p>\n<p>Antonio Valencia has worked hard at right back but lacks finesse. Ashley Young, Matteo Darmian and Timothy Fosu-Mensah have all been tried there in recent times but Darmian has failed to consistently impress and Fosu-Mensah remains raw. <\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s see the young man in action.
