Manchester United: Sign Bundesliga Left-Back, Forget Luke Shaw And Make Jones First Choice Centre-Back
Thursday, June 5, 2014 at 10:00 PM | MORE ON THIS BLOG: Manchester United 
With Patrice Evra's time at the top of football looking likely to end over the next few years, those in charge of Manchester United will be forced into signing a replacement to boss the left-back berth for years to come. This has naturally seen the Red Devils linked with Luke Shaw of Southampton, but I suggest they forget about the teen England international and move for this player.
Ricardo Rodriguez is only 21 years of age and is far superior to Shaw, in my eyes. He may not be as strong, but there is more aggression to his game, he is more effective when going forward and is more technical when on the ball.
The Switzerland international is currently on the books of Wolfsburg and last season he played 34 Bundesliga games. In that time he grabbed nine assists and scored five goals, as well as making 105 tackles and 96 clearances.
Another thing I would do is move Phil Jones into the centre of defence and keep him there as his permanent position. He cannot have benefited from being used in midfield and at right-back and I think he is the future of United's defence.
Do you agree, United fans?

No first Luke shaw is 18 and got three more years to improve and he is used to the bpl ( faster pace) and anyone can pick the best bits of a career
yeah good this guy is really good and would be a good addition to United's squad in fact if possible united can get both Luke shaw and Rodrigues it would have been nice and the like of muller kagawa mata mangala paired with Jones will all bring benefit to the squad... I'm sure united will prove beyond expectation and also marcos reus of Dortmund and pls no cesc cos he's of no use to us
