He does not look good as an out and out striker from what I have seen. I do not understand what of his attributes makes Van Gaal believes he will be good for us in that role.
Did once or twice, against Chelsea and against Fulham. Perhaps he just doesn't like him out wide in West London.Moyes never played him as a striker though, did he?
Depends on your definition of the role. It has evolved, so so long as a winger has an instinct and some strength, he can play up front. Other than a few exceptions, looking for a striker with 'traditional strikers attributes' would usually mean looking for one who is a bit limited.He does not look good as an out and out striker from what I have seen.

The problem is, I do not see any poacher esque instinct, pace or even strength(moreso that he has balance) in his ability that he needs to be a good striker. A false 9 is more fitting as that gives him more freedom to take players on and perhap create which might suit him much more.Depends on your definition of the role.

Mate he wasnt even on the bench!Disappointed not to see him. Thought he should've gotten a cameo
Yeah he should've been on the bench.Mate he wasnt even on the bench!
Agreed. Slap in the face that Hernandez who had zero preseason and was injured got in ahead of him.Yeah he should've been on the bench.
We needed at least one striker on the bench dont you agree.Agreed. Slap in the face that Hernandez who had zero preseason and was injured got in ahead of him.
I do. But I thought that's what Adnan is now? If not, then what the hell is he to LVG?We needed at least one striker on the bench dont you agree.
Better to have a proven striker than one how could maybe be a striker. I bet he'll be on the bench in the next game.I do. But I thought that's what Adnan is now? If not, then what the hell is he to LVG?
Definitely. If LVG has some faith in him starting though, it indicates to me that he's not going out on loan at all.Hopefully he plays a blinder. He's young, but he could do with a decent season.
Thought LVG would stick with Memphis in the middle and put Januzaj out right, but it seems like he may actually be in behind Rooney. A lot of faith from LVG in him.Really pleased to see him start, hopefully behind Rooney!
That's what she said...
Have a feeling he will, otherwise LvG wouldn't take the chance. He's probably been great in training.Big opportunity for him today, really hope he can impress.
He certainly bulked up a fair bit, should come in handy in a tough away game.Have a feeling he will, otherwise LvG wouldn't take the chance. He's probably been great in training.
