I disagree. He is a total footballer and a dead ball specialist, he can occupy all the similar sorts of positions to a Mata/Silva tpye players.

He did scored 3 and assisted 4 in 10 appearances and decided our most important match so far. Yes he didn't always played as good as we expect but to say he is terrible is a step to far I think. You will have a hard time to find wingers who produced more this season. He is still young and adapting to a new team and new league but he showed so far that he have a lot of potential.
Premier League stats?
People are to obsessed at looking just Premier stats since the other games are usually just as important if not more. For example LVG will probably rather lose 2 in the Premier League then lose a tie against Brugge.
It only works for people who want to paint a biased opinion as a right opinion.
Thought he had an average game apart from the free kick. Pretty sure Lingard could put on a better performance than that if played on the left. The talent though is clearly there. Techniclaly he's amazing and his specific techniques are also quality. Hopefully we don't spend to much time using him where we currently and actually play him in midfield so he can develop into one of the worlds best in the position.
He should be dropped in the league IMO. He can't handle the pace and Pereira deserves his shot.
As much as i agree that Pereira deserves the opportunity i really don't agree with your evaluation of Memphis.
He looked mediocre to average apart from the free-kick on the left and anyone who thinks he should displace Memphis from the main team sheet has lost their minds.
Frankly I thought he should been featured on the right or his natural position as a number 10. His best performances I have seen have come their because it allows him to be a much more direct player instead of continuously trying to cut back and look for a cross. No doubt this guy is a talented player, I just want the LVG to stop putting him on the left, that is Lingard's best position not his.

So because Pereira looked better against Ipswich in the League Cup he should displace Memphis in the Premiership because Memphis is only good against Brugge in the Champions League.
Memphis needs to bulk down IMO. In the Premier League players get tight to you very quickly, he turns too slowly and is too slow off the mark and that is where the problem lies IMO. I bet you that he will be bulked down by the club.
Am I the only one who want to see him as the number 8 instead?
Yep, he seems to have taken the whole Akinfenwa style bodybuilding thing too far. Young players should be lithe and nimble, and slowly mature with age, all the excess bulk might inhibit his movement and flexibility in the long term. Doesn't need to be like Giggs or Robben in terms of lean mass per se, just a bit less bulbous.
Still a risk at £35 million.
I said it even before we signed him. He's not coping well in tight spaces cause his reactions are slower than you'd expect. Also for a player termed as quick, he's looked a little slow over the first ten yards. I am sure the club will be working on him.
"Bulk down."
RedCafe has new terminology.

He was great yesterday.
But am I the only one who thought he looked better when he was slotted in the middle towards the end? Every time he got the ball he turned and looked for a positive ball upfield. Great to see from a player that young.

Not in this system, I think he'd have the same inhibitions Ander is having playing there in it.
That's certainly his natural position. Who knows if he'll ever get to play there though?
Yes, he was much better in the No. 10 position.
Was it No. 10 though? It looked like he was playing in a 3 next to Fellaini with BFS in behind.
No. He does better in that position for the youth teams. I'm sure that would also be true for the first team.
Van Gaal said in the post-game that he can play as a right-winger, left-winger, and #10, so I guess only time will tell. Personally I think he has looked best in a similar role as Mata but on the left, a deep-lying winger that drifts into the middle.
I think anybody who watched him fairly regularly at youth level wants this. He's much better dictating it from deep than playing as a #10 and almost being forced to create something special every time he receives the ball.
Well, I'm not sure. But it looked like Fellaini was playing next to Schweini to me. But to be honest, I wasn't paying too much attention to that.
A Schweinsteiger/Carrick, Andreas and Ander midfield three would be lovely jubbly.
I don't think that he is ready to play in our midfield just yet. In our system it is the most important position and this is why we decided to buy Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlin both proven midfielders. If he get into the first team it will be on the wing or in the best case in the number 10 position with 2 holding midfielders. I know everybody want 4:3:3 from last season back but we moved on and i think it was the right decision.
bulk down 
Great game for the lad. Looked confident, composed passing and touch and a very calmly taken free-kick. Hope this pushes some substitute appearances for him in the coming run-in.
Should get a cameo against Sunderland as well, they're piss poor at the moment. If not him then at least Wilson should get some first team opportunity.
With Young playing LB, I expect him to make a number of sub appearances over the next few weeks.
Looks more like a central player to me. Don't think he's got the attributes of a winger. Probably a CM in the future, similar in style to Hearers.
That's because he actually is a central player, he can play deep too.
Nearly spat my coffee out reading that term.
"You want to lose some weight?"
"Aye, bulking down."
He possibly is carrying a little too much for a 'winger' but I don't think that's what he is.
His main issue is confidence in taking on his man. His speed and acceleration is fine.
Caf attracts some pseudo-experts from all over.
Pereira looks decent though and he should get some minutes.

He will have a great career here. His dribbling ability and pace over 10 yards makes it difficult for me to not see him being successful.
I've put him to come on as a sub today. Will be great to see him. Hopefully we can kill the game off early, in order to bring him on with a good amount of time left.
10:16 for his short spell centrally.
Says it all that an individual highlights video is nearly 12 minutes long. They're usually about 5.
Love it if he came on for Rooney right now. One can dream.
