What's incredible is he's playing like a no. 9, Pep should take credit too.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Nailed on POTY
He's a-bit good like.
He is on fire this season
Crazy goal return.

Best midfielder in the world right now.
Absolutely embarrassed there. Caught completely flat-footed then wrong footed then sent on his hole. Worse than school boy stuff.
Subbed after indicating he needed to come off 
It would be just like his luck to pick up an injury while in this incredible form.

He won‘t make it in the PL
He is playing like David Silva did imo. Midfielder who would constantly attack the half spaces and get into dangerous positions again and again. He is imo the first player in their team since Silva who managed to do this really well, I thought Foden would be nailed on to be that guy but kudos to Gündogan for making this role his own and probably playing the best season of his life.
Jesus that Sanchez’s attempt at defending looks worse and worse. How can a CB be brushed off so easily. Horrific defending for a ball over the top.
Hello?
It was always a question of him being able to get past his back problems. He was eased in by City and has slowly regained his top level. Outstanding player.
What are you feeding him?
Ballon D'or 2021.
No chance. Not even close. He hasn't even been our best player.
That pass from Ederson. Wow. That is something beyond de Gea's comprehension, as if it came from another dimension.
Different for sure. But Gundogan was always a phenomenal midfield talent. When he was at Dortmund, he had the world at his feet and was destined to become one of Europe's dominant CMs. Was the one I wanted at United as well. It's just injuries that completely derailed his career.
Nah Gundogan has overtaken him over the last few weeks I’m afraid. Grealish is arguably above him too.
The way he has stepped up is amazing. Obviously a lot of credit goes to Pep for setting up the strikerless team in such a way and trusting Gundogan to produce the goods but his performances are brilliant. As much as it pains be to say it, he is a joy to watch with the ball at his feet in and around the box.
The coronavirus gave him probably a superpower 
Nah, not having that.
What about Peps injections? They dont exist anymore?
It seems it really got your attention.
He’s always been a decent goal scorer, but it seems like the way city play right now especially with no proper striker suits him perfectly. He times those ghosting runs really well and his technique to control it while running and pick a corner is great.
Unlucky for him to get injured as he’s in the form of life.

Very nice pass and everything but Sanchez should easily have cut it out. Only reason it got through to Gundogan in the first place was because the defender seemingly lost all control over his body.
I said a while back, when he had 1 year left on his contract, that we should sign him and play him with Pogba and Matic (or another DM) as I thought it would free Pogba from the deep playmaking role and play further forward. He was underrated back when City had their 100 point season (when De Bruyne was injured for most of it and Gundogan filled in) and I think it was then that he was negotiating a contract renewal. Would have been relatively cheap as well.
That being said, we now have Bruno
As a German fan it's good to see Gundogan doing well, can only bode well for the upcoming Euros. A midfield three of Kimmich-Goretzka-Gundogan can be pretty potent in terms on the offensive and defensive end.

He's getting back to the player he was at Dortmund where he looked dead on to become the best midfielder in the world
Blood bags
Didn’t we almost sign him for £20M but Woodward or Van Gaal changed their mind?
He went full Phil Jones.

That is what makes managers like Pep, Kopp and of course Sir Alex such special managers. They can turn a player whom everyone thought who's past it into a world class player. It is almost like he has become David Silva's clone. Has to be City's best player this season.
He’s exactly the same player with the same talents, except he’s now playing a different role in a modified system and is scoring for fun so getting the plaudits.
Feck Pep and his necromancy.
You don't rate Son?
A german poster with napoleon complex, exactly what we needed.
