2000 CLUB

David De Gea reported that he would start the season as Manchester United’s number one, but warned that his position threatened through rookie Dean Henderson.
The Spanish goalkeeper made a series of high-profile mistakes last season while Henderson was inspiring Sheffield United.
Solskjaer said: “Yes, you hold your position on the team or play when you play well, regardless of whether you’re a goalkeeper, a striker or a side.
“Of course, the goalkeeper is another position in the field. There are fewer physical demands compared to an outdoor player who would possibly spin more.
“But you want a festival, and you want this festival to push each other so that we can get the most productive functionality imaginable from one of them.
“I hope either one of them does when he plays. “
GET TO THE POINT WITH BEEK
More from our analyst Higginbotham . . .
He added: “The good look of United’s current team is that many of them can play in a variety of positions, and Van de Beek is precisely the same.
“At Ajax, he showed that he can play on the field before it seems he can play the innerdest role when Frenkie de Jong left for Barcelona.
‘Then what you can locate is that Van de Beek’s trio of midfielders, Pogba and Fernandes will strive at number 10 because everyone has the intelligence and is able to shoot down when needed.
“Without Nemanja Matic, they’ll be a little open defensively, but then we’ll only see one side advance, to make sure they still have at least 4 men on the ball, because the other will pass inside.
“In fact, this would not be the case for one of the 4 most sensitive players, as some expect. “
