Manchester Utd Thread

 

A superb talent but his ball retention and refusal to pass is incredibly frustrating at times.

While i feel he's been very close to having more goals due to hitting the post/bar so much, that's still on him, within his control so he should have more goals. Judging him on assists is very unfair IMO. He should have double-digit assists this season. The amount of times he's laid it on a plate for teammates that a decent attacking player should put away and United have wasted.

He performed well against Chelsea and against Spurs, but dominated neither game.

He has been inconsistent, and if other players had put away more of his chances created that wouldn't change his inconsistency but his statistics would look a lot better and he wouldnt be getting as much stick. Decent season from him but needs to raise his game next season and in what's left of this one.

I would have thought goals and assists were as good a barometer as any.

 

Aside from those assist and goal figures, i'll think of the times I've watched him play this season and I can't think of one outstanding performance to be honest. In most of the big games he's been anonymous.

 

 

 

Exactly. Do the people who think he's had a good season, in any sense of the word, know what he was like at Juve? He was outstanding last year and has been distinctly 'meh' this year. Whether it's the price tag, the system, the weather - whatever it is, he's clearly performed nowhere near the level he is capable of. The odd decent performance here and there simply isn't good enough. Next season is a big one for him and I reckon he'll come good then. To suggest he's been anything other than a disappointment this season though is not doing the player himself any justice at all.
