The return of David de Gea is obviously the main storyline when Manchester United welcome in ACF Fiorentina on Saturday. Already a club legend among legends, he’s one of the greatest goalkeepers in club history. Also returning to Old Trafford this weekend is Sofyan Amrabat, the Moroccan midfielder who spent some time at United on loan in recent years.
Luke Shaw, the longest serving player on the current squad can play left back, center back and left-centre half.

Ahead of the Premier League Summer Series victory over Bournemouth last week, Shaw fielded a reporter question about how he sometimes slots in.
“I’ve spoken a lot about left-centre back or left-wing back just in general with a lot of people asking me the same question,” Shaw responded to a small group of reporters, including this one.
“Not too much with the manager to be fair but, honestly, I don’t mind wherever the manager wants me to play. I’m happy to play anywhere. I think at the moment, I’ve been playing left-centre this pre-season so we’ll have to see if that carries on.
“I’m just really happy to be doing this pre-season. Obviously, I missed last pre-season.”
