Southampton defender Kyle Walker-Peters has been likened to Philipp Lahm by manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.
The Saints manager was speaking after Walker-Peters was involved in a tactical tweak during today’s 1-1 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford.
He said: “We brought Kyle on the 10, a good opportunity and the first time we did it this way. I think this can be also something for the future.
“Kyle is an unbelievably smart footballer with a super football intelligence. He plays, left-back, right-back and now on the 10.
“In the sessions sometimes he plays six also, so he can play every position.
“He remembers me a little bit of Phillipp Lahm I must say, because he is so good on the ball, he always has good decisions. He can run and makes nearly any mistakes.
“He is getting better and better and this is what you need on this position.”
