I’m unsure if it’s an unpopular opinion, but I just don’t see it with this lad to the same level as everyone else seems to. That he’s often one of our better players seems like a criticism of the rest of them rather than a green tick for him.
Can see him staying with us for a long time, but eventually more as a super sub rather than a first team fixture.
I agree and have mentioned this same thing a few months ago myself.
He can be a very solid PL winger IMO with decent G/A, but I don't ever see him becoming a top 3 player in his position, and someone who will compete for the Ballon d'Or, with Madrid and Barca throwing stupid money at us in order to sign him. I also agree that I can see him staying at United for a very long time, becoming a great servant to the club, but not someone like Mbappé, Vinícius, Rashford last season, Mané, Son, Leao, etc. I don't see anything in him that makes me think he will reach that level. However, he will probably be way more consistent and on an overall higher level by the time he's 22/23, than now. It's also understandable that he will hit inconsistent patches.
Hojlund and Mainoo are definitely bigger talents than him. Maybe more people will agree now, because the last time I shared this opinion of mine, Hojlund had 1 PL goal in 15 games
