He's class, signing of the season. Every game he surprises me still. Didn't think he had the kind of pass for Rashford's goal in him.

Was unlucky to not get 2 or 3 assists today.

I feel Wan-Bissaka should sometimes stay back a bit to allow him to go at the full back. Put some great crosses today and his ball for Rashford was class. Another good game from a player, who has settled so quickly.

Love the lad, keeps running and trying and puts in the effort every time he is on the field. Puts in a lot of nice crosses, need to get another striker who is strong in the air.

Oddly, think Fellaini would have been a nice option to attack those crosses.

Good performance. Play him more on the right. Pass to rashford was great.

You can tell that he's loving it out there. Never seems to be overawed when on the pitch and just looks so dangerous. That setup for Rashford's goal was quality.

Manchester Utd never lose, just run out of time
Earlier in the season there was a noticeable difference in his performance levels between the left and right. That's two good right wing performances in a row now though, so hopefully he's going to cement that role as a front three of him, Martial and Rashford is obviously our best on paper.

His early balls in behind were put through with perfection today. The Rashford goal, another for Martial and even a few other passes too. Some real quality coming into his play which he lacked in some other performances. If he can get that extra quality executed like he did today then he'll be one hell of a player.

Had very good game, his pass for Rashford, thought only Pogba was capable of that in our team. Most pleasing part is he looked very good as RW.

Yeah, he is obviously a much bigger talent than what people thought from his rep before he came here. Great find.

Lovely feeling when the management unearthes a quality player like that. I am yet to watch the match but loved his ball for Rashford for the 2nd goal and its pleasing to note the improvement in his delivery. His work rate is fantastic.

Already the best signing in the past 7-8 years. Fair feck to anyone who scouted him. Makes such a difference having proper right winger for once.

That pass today showed that he s much more than a hit and run merchant...as some experts over here alluded

Our most important attacking player so far this season, that pass for the second goal was Beckhamesque. Need to pack on some weight though. Goes to ground way to easily form pretty much any form of contact
If he puts on weight it’ll probably affect his acceleration. He’s fine as he is. I’m all good with him going to ground, he’s fouled an awful lot and Ole needs to start mentioning this in his interviews, as refs aren’t protecting him.

Has a fair bit of craft and vision doesn’t he. But Caf experts also had McTommy down as only being in the team so Jose could look good, so they’re frequently wrong.

He’s quality, absolutely our best player so far this season. I definitely feel he’s got a lot more development ahead of him too.

Thing is the people sprouting that shit are usually the noisiest over here. A true case of empty bottles...

That pass was unbelievable, I swear I read when we signed him that his crossing wasn’t considered one of his best attributes, I certainly think it is now.

That first pen today was just ridiculous though, he was through on goal if he stayed on his feet, madness to go down they way he did.

He's adding layers to his game. His incredible speed means he'll always effect the match, even if he isn't playing particularly well. He stretches teams and gets defenders to sit deeper than they would like. But to see him getting goals and putting wonderful crosses in like he did today, gives me really hope.

What a great pass for Rashford’s goal. Finally we have someone to make the right their own. Two great assists from really wide positions in two weeks.

Decision for the pen was ludicrous. No foul, no dive.

Do you feel its a case of when he goes slower his skills will also suffer major?

Didn't know of him before this season but is doing fine. Where he's lucky or perhaps unlucky is that he would have no valid reason to feel inferior mostly; so hopefully he keeps it up and is lucky with knocks etc. It's funny how many pens we've had this season. Think he'll get us a few more.

Where would our attack be without him? He's my player of the year (so far), with McTom in close 2nd.

He will do as long he is hungry, you can clearly see the hunger to make it, there is this drive.

People also said he was a kick and run football erand couldn’t pass the ball to save his life :lol:

I noticed today he was dribbling between the centre back and LB way more. I think that’s where he’s more effective. He won’t be a player that goes round the outside as much, but his acceleration means he’s very hard to stop.

he and AWB seem to be making a great partnership on the right.

He’s actually had a couple of really good bended crosses lately. With Rashford and Martial, that would be a really nice feat to have in the team. It can be effective even against low defences.

My favourite player of the season so far beside McTominay. Keep putting that crosses in.
