Manchester United have Jarrad Brantwhaite top of their centre-back list. His prioritisation becomes perplexing when you consider that Lisandro Martinez, their best centre-back, is also left-footed. Left-footed centre-back pairings are scarce in elite football. Conventional wisdom dictates that it just doesn't work, even though, up until recently, there has been no such issue with two right-footed centre-backs.
Branthwaite is so two-footed, it seems, that his former academy coach at Carlisle insists we've all got it wrong about which foot comes naturally to the defender. 'Jarrad is not left-footed!' Eric Kinder told the Liverpool Echo earlier this year. 'He's right-footed, but both feet are exactly the same.' He added: 'It made me laugh when Jamie Carragher said young left-footed centre-backs are hard to find. I laughed.
