Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has praised young defender Paddy McNair, who will start against Everton in this Sunday's Premier League clash at Old Trafford.
The 19-year-old impressed his Dutch boss after he was called into the first team in last weekend's 2-1 victory over West Ham United due to a host of injuries in defence.
"We still have three central defenders injured so he shall play, he is the only player who can play in the right-sided defensive position," Van Gaal told reporters.
"I chose him last week and he played very good. It's difficult for a player like him to maintain that level, that is his biggest challenge."
United can get their first back-to-back wins of the season if they overcome the Merseyside club on home turf this weekend.
