The possibility of Stephen Wright returning to first team contention during September will increase United'd defensive options, claimed Manager Ales Smith.
"Having Stephen fit will give us the opportunity to go to three at the back if we feel that's right for a particular situation, and he also provides excellent cover for Jamie McCunnie at right-back.
"I am very happy with Jamie's form, but it is easy to forget he is still only 18 and has been in the side continuously since coming in as a 17-year-old. We will have to watch him closely as the season progresses and see if there are any signs of tiredness."
