Middleton is one dimensional, he has been decent for us this season, but anyone watching Utd this season can see that, he goes outside his full back, but can't go inside, and doesn't have a trick, he isn't slow, but isn't blinding fast either. Not writing him off, think he can be a decent squad player, he has put in some great deliveries this season, but better standard of full back going to make that one tactic/trick less potent. I think Goodwin should have moved him about a bit more at times this season, you can see his finishes against Alkmaar, Queens Park and Morton he can cut in on his left and put a decent finish.

There isn't one Utd player I'd be worried about losing, I would like to see a few more moved on, depending on what is coming in of course. I know it's about consolidating this season, but how many of the current crop are top 6 players? It's not like in the past when you feared losing a GMS, Gauld, Armstrong, Russell, Goodwillie etc... Courts, and Mellon to a lesser extent, of course proved you don't need the best players to make a team better than the sum of its parts.
