Ten Hag has a right back dilemma. He has two options to start in the position, yet we all still identify the position as one we could improve. We currently have the choice between Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Diogo Dalot, two players that have seen their involvement in United teams stagnate at various points in their United careers. Ten Hag has rotated between the two right backs so far since joining United, resurrecting Wan-Bissaka and unlocking Dalot in his full-back oriented system. For now, it is worth a look at the two players so that we can identify who might be our best option to start in the position week in week out.

Dalot and wan bissaka are not the grade
Dalot all the way. Chips in with thre odd goal. Other teams mates have shared how hard Dalot trians and his great application.
You definitely need both. Against lower teams dalot will be good as the extra attacker. Against City, Arsenal, Liverpool etc get AWB against Grealish, Martinelli & Gakpo.
Wani everytime:)))
Offensive and defensive
Can we stop saying Dalot can cross? He’s genuinely awful at it
The thing is dalot is a very average defender and although he has the making of good player he doesnt put it together. His offensive game is like a 18 years old, hit and miss. dalot can play when the opposition has average left winger/left back/left midfielder.
AWB for me
Why can’t we have two quality right backs they both have there uses, playing 50/60 games a season both have a big role to play.
In Dalot and Wan Bissaka we have completely complementary Ying and yang to cover most requirements as defensive fullback options, and both are young, I'd say they can keep improving as a tag team, pushing each other to improve while giving enough time to each other away from games to work and be fatigue free.
Bring back Mason Greenwood.
AWB will start but think depends how they both perform the last two preseasons games. Defo going to be switching them up a lot
AWB still going forward offers very little quality. Where he has improved is he does look more confident and capable in possession from the back but final 3rd he's still pretty non existent. Dalot I feel has a high ceiling in an attacking sense even if he is behind AWB in terms of defensive solidity and handling wingers 1on1. Dalot for me still is my main pick and utilise AWB in games that ask for him to lock someone down.
How is this a dilemma? We need two of them. I swear some of these are so brain dead.
Dalot except when we play against Grealish, Martinelli and Son. Their pace and 1v1 skills fits Awb better.
Awb has become really overrated defensively. His position awareness is actually really really bad. He is usually caught out of position sleeping.
Also I have a memory if Awb often playing the opposition Onside.
Awb is one of the only pro footballing fullbacks I’ve ever seen who is playing a “inward back” pass (we call it that in Sweden, a pass from fullback to centerback basically a thru ball for opposition team) as soon as he is under pressure. I have no idea why he does that. As a 12 yo I remember being told to never make that pass ever again.
It’s like Awb brain malfunction at random times. I do not trust him whatsoever.
Dalot is better but it drives me nuts how people will completely flip and underrate the other when they don't play for a week, both are good and different which is what we should aim in every position tbh
We used to have De Gea and Romero. If both parties are happy competing, just leave it as it is…
AWB is 1st choice for me
The manager has done well to help him find form and will help hin develop further.
One of the best 1 on 1 and at the end of the day that is what a defender is there to do.
Maybe turn Dalot into a midfielder?
It's not even a debate, Dalot is the better RB overall for us. Even Eth knows that, he's just bidding his time.
Our rivals have technically competent RB, Trent who's sh*t at 1v1 is still the RB. The passes Dalot sees , AWB doesn't or even if he does, he can't make them
Dalot has been here 5 seasons…AWB 4..!
I want both Dalot is better overall but AWB is hands down best man to man defender in the world! Surely we need both these lads in our squad
Shud be getting frimpong
This might be a little left field (though I should say right field in this instance), but I would like to see both of them playing together, with AWB as the RB and Dalot playing in a dual defensive midfield pivot alongside Casemiro.
It might sound crazy, but hey I'm sitting on my sofa in Manchester, so I can suggest crazy shit👍👍😉😉
I like having 2 options, I’m not one of these fans that put players against each other.
Dalot doesn’t dribble better than AWB that’s a myth. I don’t even think he crosses better.
I think it'll eventually be Dalot (If I'm honest, I think he's better.), but if Wan keeps improving, who knows.
I think it’s quite a nice problem to have, neither Dalot (with his injury record) nor Wan Bissaka (with his playstyle) are safe bets to play 50+ games next season. If we only had one of them, we’d be asking for a player like the other as depth.
Both would be so much better with a decent right sided midfielder
I think it’s interesting that we were quite heavily linked with a number of right backs a couple of months ago, especially Frimpong. But those rumours quickly disappeared as we’ve headed into the window. Don’t know about anyone else but that tells me that Ten Hag is pretty confident that Wan Bissaka and/or Dalot can make it to that level. Will be interesting to see what happens
Dalot over Wan Bissaka
