Ex-Tottenham boss Tim Sherwood has criticised Manchester United midfielder Carlos Baleba, stating that the Cameroonian doesn't understand the role of shielding defenders. Sherwood expressed his belief that United should sign a player better suited to this task, insisting Baleba is more of an all-action player who dominates the pitch.
"Manchester United need someone in there protecting the defenders," Sherwood stated on Sky Sports News. "I think Baleba is all-action; he is all over the pitch. You just wind him up and can't stop him until the end of the game, but I'm not sure he knows the game to just protect and sit in front of the defence. They are going to need that."
Baleba, who moved from Brighton in the summer transfer window, has yet to make his debut for Michael Carrick's side.
