he is not good enough to play for the first team at present.
it may be that he needs a few more games in the reserves to get his match sharpness back, but at the moment, he is the weak link in the team.
I also think other teams know this and have started exploiting it, for example Ronaldo came straight over to our right when hunt came on, swapping sides with rooney.
close season we need to buy a new full back.
