It's not Nani's, possibly is Young's but I think Park is just happy to play wherever. I thought it meant left-sided as in actually left-footed, the way Valencia is very much a right-sided player.

Valencia usually plays right side for Man U with Giggs, Young and Nani usually sharing the left wing duties. All of the left sided players have played right wing but cant recall valencia playing left. park a utility player has played all across middle of the em, park

Anyway, point remains, McClean much more likely to get playing time at Sunderland. Still a Prem Lge rookie so from a player perspective probobly better to stay put for now (presuming there is any truth in MU rumour).

Jesus Derry are getting some great little clauses as it stands but this is a tough decision....I dont think I'd sell the clause. As I said their already receiving some nice little windfalls so they may as well hold out and hope he moves for a big fee one day.

I hope Sunderland dont think of leaving him out of 2 of their last 8 to avoid paying another 100,000 if they finish 8th,

i dont think they would. 100k is pittance for them especially in light of the reaction if they were to leave out their "in form" player.

On the sale of the clause, i am not sure that McClean is quite as good as being made out, a lot of rough edges to his game still and i think next season will tell us more about his prospects. That said, he currently is a premiership quality, left footed player which are in short supply in England. Selling it would not be the worst piece of business from my perspective.

He only needs three more appearances anyway from the looks of things
