Weirdly, Sonny did used to play as a 10 for Hamburg ...who played two up front, hence he could play as a 10 for Hamburg
Son playing as a 10 could be very, very interesting. It would certainly 'throw' United's game plan and cause all sorts of confusion for their midfielders. It's one thing leaving Richarlison unattended for long periods of a game; no one would risk that with Son. And having him central running towards the goal as opposed to running down the touchline 50 yards from the goal would massively increase our goal threat.
One thing that is worth pointing out is the energy levels of Man Utd's midfield tends to drop between the 75th-80th minute, so if the game is tight Sonny does have the yard of pace and energy levels to take advantage of this, ironically more than Maddison could given he tends to fade out of matches around 70th-75th minute You may notice I made sure to put a lot of emphasis on the word if, in the hope of avoiding the piss sock...
He played full 90s against AZ and Ferencvaros before that, then missed two months with a dose of mono Not a surprise we're using him sparingly after that, his fitness was at pre-season levels at best after that
Kulu out for months, possibly the start of next season too... at what point does it stop being unlucky for all these injuries happening and reoccuring.
