Well Ashley Young's not good enough to be a winger for us, so I'd bloody hope so.
Showed a lot of maturity in his play yesterday even if he wasn't as electrifying as he as in EL. The fact that he was able to take Bellerin, one of the fastest defenders to the byline was great - he needs to make sure he establishes that in each game because it will set him up for his strength - the cut inside and open up for shots. Defenders won't be able to cheat and frustrate him as he has been most of the season.
Also, should be able to help create more against the regular teams because our fullback will be able to support him more and just like yesterday, when we keep that threat down the left up, if we can then get switched to the right, there will be acres of space for the those over there.
Really really looking forward to seeing him continue in this vein for the rest of the season.

It's a great week for him and we should all be encouraged by it. I do think he's responded to having the responsibility of being the main attacker. I think he's run out for the under 21's was the start of the upturn and again responded well to being the leader in many ways. Some people hide from responsibility and others grow with it....
I'm starting to really like him!
Love when he boy'd off Alexis in the second half. He's like a bull.
During the Midgetland game, the BT commentator mentioned something about Giggs having been doing a lot of one-to-one work with him lately.
Any source for this?
Interesting if true. For all the Giggs naysayers, as a specialist coach for wingers/wide forwards, there can't be many more suited.

That's the photo he picked? You'd think he'd have gone for one a bit more flattering...
United kit with a fancy angle of the OT crowd, looking like he's working hard? Not a bad choice
And Welbz. He's a tank.
You just have to wonder how our season would have been if Memphis and the 2016 Rooney had turned up earlier on.
At this point, I'd take the 2016 Rashford over the 2016 Rooney tbh.
Memphis confirmed it himself in one of his recent interviews.
Not for me. Lingard has shown the end product in his first season which Young hasn't in his various seasons for us.
Has something like 3 goals and 3 assists in his last 6/7 matches, he doesnt play very well all the time but he's very valuable. He isnt even playing as lm, or am, those are his best positions.
He just doesn't have the speed at the moment to play like he did in Holland, but he's adjusting, turning on the turns and twists instead of powering through. It's looking better, and he's surging past on the outside a lot more. He has a decent cross with his left, I think he could be an assist king, but he likes to score.
This, it's easy to underrate Lingard's contributions but it's goals and assists that win matches not how often you can beat your man especially if you proceed to to wild balls which none of our strikers can reach.
. The way he cushioned that after doing that mid-flight skill was just as amazing.Young is a full back now.
He's taken plenty of stick this season, but I've always felt that he's got everything he needs to be a success here. He's making more sensible decisions on the ball and seems to be utilizing his considerable mass and power in a more productive way. He's been playing with his back to goal a lot more to lay the ball off to teammates, and I'm astonished that he hadn't been doing from the start, because he's a big guy that's hard to shake off the ball. Watch closely and you'll also see that he frequently shrugs off tackles that would cause other players to go to ground, which is not something that can be said for a lot of players in this league.
A long ways to go yet for Memphis and his teammates, but he's on the right track alright. He'll do himself and that famous shirt justice, I'm sure of it.

Man Utd 1:0 Watford
Replace him with Lingard at half time please. Having a mare and I think Jesse gives us much better balance.
Normal brain dead service resumed.
He can not get past his man without pulling of outrageous moments of skill and that is unfortunately hard thing to do with a high success ratio. Martial would have blazed by these chimps a few times slready and created some havoc.
Nice that our best player is shunted to the right and we play 2 match heroes in his favorite and most effectife positions

Because he's been breezing by his man all day there on the left? When it comes to dribbling it doesn't matter what side of the pitch you're on. Our front three have all been poor with Martial the worst of the bunch. Unfortunately we don't have anyone on the bench to change things up.
Hasn't even got the ball enough. Don't know what people expect him to do when Mata and Herrera have misplaced easy passes to the front 3.
Of course it matters what side you're on when it comes to dribbling. Christ wtf is that post, do you play football?
Dont be moronic, you beat a man by being unpredictable, having the ability to go either way is what makes a great dribbler, you can cut in or go on the outside on either wing, it's the end product that becomes more difficult. Do you even watch football?
Candid ThePie - Just One of those days
And that is exactly why inside wingers exist like Robben and Messi. They are more unpredictable and effective when they can cut inside on their stronger foot because of the threat of a better shot. It might have been dfferent if Martial is a traditional winger and comfortable hugging the line. He isn't and that is why he isn't comfortable dribbling there. As has been proven time and again.
Pm me when you need another football lesson. I'll youtube it for you. Moron.
Tell us all we need to know about your football knowledge!
Of course it makes a different what side you are dribbling depending on what foot you dribble with. how good was Giggs on the Right Wing? from my memory not that great because he likes to solely whip in crosses. On the other side, inside wingers are particularly dangerous because you show them your inside, they will shoot, show them the line and its yo ass cos they can probably cross well enough on weaker foot.
OK let me back track a little, it has some influence when you're on the edge of the opposition box but Martial hadn't been in that position in the fist half, picking the ball up a little further back or a little more central and it's just as different patch of grass.
He's cut in a few times, and had opportunities to shoot but passed up on them today. Take the fecking shot Memphis.
He did take a couple earlier on and they were bloody atrocious!
Herrera off and this mook left on. Unbelievable.
Actually think he's done okay.
Fairly terrible tonight. I was furious when he pulled rank on Mata for the first free kick. I don't want to see that happen again. He needs to wind his neck in and earn that privilege.
