Deserves to be left out the squad for a while. He was given ample opportunities to improve his form but just kept getting worse.

He'll probably be delighted. He didn't want to play against Chelsea and couldn't wait to come off so I hope he enjoys his day off.

Glad the penny finally has dropped for Mkhi, would be glad to see the back of him. I can't remember the last time a United player annoyed me as much.

A couple of weeks out of the squad will be a good reality check. He was well below average for a few months and now he will really have to up his game even for a squad space, since Pogba and Ibra are back.

Deserved drop. Being rested usually means their still on the bench. Think this is altogether dropped

Needed that kick in the arse. Now it's time for him to either improve to get his position again or be shown the door in summer.

Depay? Di Maria? Januzaj? Can’t be that long ago surely. There’s been so many in the last few years.

We kept possession much better without him, that's for sure.

Time for him now to respond to this kick and start improving himself. We didn't even look like missing him at all.

He would do well in Italy where he would get the three days on the ball he needs to be effective.

Milan got some money these days, get them on the horn.

This might be OTT, but I think he is done here.

Let's see how he plays with Pogba back. He was red hot in the beginning too
Exactly, he was fantastic for us last season, and Pogba was there most of the time, he's a real confidence player, and that has looked shot recently, hope it's just a short sharp wake up call, and he's back soon.

Honestly the Serie A has changed. It is much faster these days.
It isn't the pace that is his problem, since he is pacier than Mata for instance. It is the fact that he can't handle the closing down and constant hounding you get as an attacker in the PL. Also he couldn't withstand a shoulder barge from a five year old girl.

Italy may have picked up the pace, but it is still not like the PL. I think he would thrive there.

We can't afford to have these imo. We need players that can be relied on consistently. The pressure is too high here for the mentally weak.

That is exactly what I am talking about. It looks closer to the PL than ever before now. The gulf isn't huge, a player like Salah is performing even better in England.

Don't agree, we can afford it if the end result is worth it, and with him it is, he is a really good player with a very high performance ceiling, he just seems very fragile, hope he can get in the zone again with Pogba back.

The end result is him having as many bad games as good. That's not enough here

Ah whatever, football is fickle, he'll score one like he did against Spurs last season and he'll be king again, the guy is class, he has just had a bad run.

Don't remember him being fantastic last season. He looked good for maybe a couple of months after getting back in the team, but after that was pretty average. Did well in the Europa in some matches, but stank the final out (despite the goal).

He's got to be our most frustrating player at the moment. Just imagine if we had all our players at the top of their game, just clicking at the same time. That squad along with Herrera, Mkhi, Rojo and Bailly showing the flashes of brilliance they had last season. :(

We really need to have Mkhi back to his best. He would give us that extra guile and pace in attack. Shame it ain't working out at the mo.
