What Samuel Chukwueze would bring to Manchester United.

A thread:
With United's lack of transfer activity we've created a problem on the right wing spot we, even tho we've bought 2 right wingers they both aren't up to the standard yet. And in this weird Covid world we haven't got the most amounts of money to spend, Samu Chukwueze fits the bill.
In this thread I will discuss:
-Who is Samuel Chukwueze.
-What his main attributes are and cons.
-Systems that fit him.
-Compare him with other right wingers.
-My thought on this signing.
1 . WHO IS SAMUEL CHUKWUEZE?

Samuel Chukwueze is a 21 year old left footed right winger playing for FC Villareal. Chukwueze is a fast player that likes to drive at people, likes going for a 1v1 and then take the ball inside to either take a shot or a quick pass.
2 . HIS MAIN ATTRIBUTES AND CONS.

One of Samuel Chukwueze's most dangerous attributes is his blitzing pace with and without the ball. Chukwueze likes to dibble at people with a succes rate of 60%, he likes going for a 1v1 and going inside to give a through ball.
One of his quality's is to come inside from the right and to shoot on his left foot getting 25% of his shots on target or give a lovely through ball completing 80% of his passing what is decent for a risk taking player. Chukwueze has scored and gave an assist in just 4 starts.
Chukwueze also has his cons, his lack of threat against teams that sit back what was shown in the game against Atletico Madrid ending the game with a score of 5.2. Chukwueze doesn't like to defend and lets his man go sometimes that leaves the fullback free to cross.
3 . SYSTEM'S I WOULD PLAY HIM IN.

Chukwueze is a right winger but he is pretty versataile playing anywhere across the front 3 and can even do a job at number 10 if needed. But I would like to play him out wide.
Chukwueze plays right midfield for Villareal in a 442 but that isn't the his best suited formation in my humble opinion. I would play him either in a 433 or a 4231 where he has the defensive support of the 2 centre defensive midfielders and he can take risks and loose the ball.
And I would prefer the 4231 to get the best out of our attacking players and also to give enough defensive support without being exposed. And with the 4231 you create triangles all over the pitch in a fast way of moving the ball, what would suit a lot of our players.
4 . CHUKWUEZE COMPARED TO OTHER RIGHT WINGERS.

I've compared Chukwueze to some linked and talented players that could be options for United this Januari or next summer.
This shows how impressive he is in some aspects and being only 21 he has a lot of time improving his weaknesses, he isn't the most expensive player so it would make sense for us to atleast look at him, having only a market value of around 25M.
5 . MY THOUGHT ON THE SIGNING.

Overall this deal would make sense but he isn't my preferred option but he would definitely would be on the list, he is such a great player to watch and I would be really happy with him at United.
