Antonio Valencia voted best suited to modern wing-back role
Hence, it was no great surprise that the sturdy South American is deemed most suited to the modern position, within Ruben Amorim’s system.
Patrice Evra, who often played on the opposite flank to Valencia, is our runner-up in this category on 20 per cent.
The Frenchman’s attacking qualities were appreciated and, again, his speed and resilience would be key assets for the wing-back position.
The final place on the podium goes to Ryan Giggs, with 17 per cent. The most-decorated player in Premier League history was very much associated with his work going forwards, particularly in his early days.
Although his game evolved significantly, he would have made an extremely attacking contender for the position but was capable of tracking back and making impressive slide tackles.
Thanks to everybody who voted!
