One of the tactical problems we have is that Solskjær wants to play with a high defensive line and offensive high and wide full backs. However, he spent £80m on Maguire who doesn't fit the former and £50m on Wan-Bissaka who doesn't fit the latter.
This doesn't mean they are bad players as some wrongly assert. Rather, they do not fit the system Ole wants to play. A good, simple example would be to look at the physical qualities of Bailly and Dalot. There are other issues, yes, but quality wise they fit very well.
However, Maguire is Ole's captain so he won't be dropped. I don't think he needs to if I'm being honest. Wan-Bissaka is Ole's go-to RB so he won't be dropped either. AWB can actually develop as an offensive FB. However, he needs to be coached a little better in that department.
AWB has definitely improved as an offensive contributor since arriving. However, there is a long way to go before he is even a viable option in our attack.
