Right back: Kyle Walker

This will be the Englishman’s first competitive Manchester derby, and it’s sure to be a good one for him, and everyone else involved.

The reason I’ve given him the nod ahead of Antonio Valencia is because of his all-round play. He obviously has the defensive stability, and his crossing ability is second to none, but his attacking prowess is what I admire most about him. You can expect to see him causing Manchester United’s left flank many problems.

However, the same can be said about Manchester United’s Antonio Valencia, but for me, Kyle Walker just gets the edge over him. It will be interesting to see who performs better out of the two on match day.
