Provided he stays fit, I think Paterson will be in the starting line more than out of it in the coming season. While the front four which started at Old Trafford were portrayed as a dream combination by some, I reckon Neil Warnock will want to have Paterson's aerial ability in the team somewhere if Kenneth Zohore is starting regularly - our manager has always had trouble finding a "natural" number ten for his 4-2-3-1 system and so I wonder if Decordova-Reid might be the one to miss out again?.

Even if we sign a striker who is really good in the air or Gary Madine suddenly starts to look like a £10 million player, I still think we could well see Paterson pushed out on to the right instead of one of the specialist wingers.
