Better player for me or at least more consistent than Ashley Young.
Don't worry Solius, Valencia proved me wrong as well. I'm hoping Young will eventually do the same though I remain unconvinced. |

He's one of our most consistent performers. He's a tough nut aswell, hard to get to the ball off him.
And I love the way he doesn't celebrate his goals. When there is still time to play and you haven't won anything yet what is there to celebrate. I love that attitude, at the end of a game or even the end of a season when holding a trophy in your hands should be the only time to celebrate. It's one thing I don't understand about professionals, when you score a goal in the first 10 minutes of a game what are you doing that dance on the sidelines for and looking so fucking happy. You have 80 minutes still left to play and probably half a season or whatever left aswell, get back in position and concentrate on the game, you have achieved nothing yet until the final whistle is blown. Bit of a rant there. Go Valencia! |

Indeed... that goal he scored against Leeds was a belter. He should attempt those kind of long shots more often I think... somewhere between Valencia and Nani is the perfect balance of how/when you should attempt shots from long range!

A supporter is different to a player. I celebrate goals when United score absolutely but as a player I just want to make sure the job is finished before celebrating anything |

He looked pretty fecking excellent when he was still at Wigan. Don't think I've ever seen an opposition winger give John O'Shea such a hard time as he did in this game.

He always looked really good at Wigan and he was only 22 so I don't get why people say that nobody ever expected that much from him here. I didn't expect much from him in contrast to the actual player he replaced (obviously) but that's about it. I always expected him to become top class, though I wasn't expecting it so soon and on such a consistent level.

He looked good at wigan, yes, even when he came but i never thought he'd become one of the best wingers then though. he looked very one dimensional and i figured defenders would figure him out soon. to his credit, he looks unstoppable nonetheless.
Not saying that i didnt rate him, but yeah, didnt expect him to be this good and on such a consistent basis.. |
