Noted Keane said before the game that he came on in the FA Cup was lively plus and won a few headers. Today De Gea hit a couple of diagonal balls and he won the aerial duels, something you never see Rashford or Greenwood do.

He is really strong in the air, which is surprising as he is a bit weak in duels on the ground imo.

 

[McGrathsipan]

I liked him

 

[BluesJr]

Quick and direct. Essential in the PL. Looks much more like Mane/Salah than any of other forwards.

 

[city-puma]

Me too. Win several air duel. He is very athletic and can jump really well…

 

[Toshey]

Give him a regular starting position. This guy shows so much more hunger and passion that Rashford.

 

[Manny]

Its stupid that it feels refreshing to have a winger who can link up with teammates and make some good decisions. He was tracking back into our box too.

 

[crossy1686]

I liked him today, looked ready for PL minutes but needs to bulk up like Greenwood and Rashford did. Got manhandled too much in the second half which saw him subbed off in the end.

Subbed off because he was injured. Not once did I see him 'manhandled' and nor does he have to bulk up, he's done that already.

 

[Adnan]

Played with a intensity both on and off the ball which was great to see. Hopefully he's fit to start the next game.

I would disagree. Looked more comfortable than Sancho for comparison. Won a lot of aerial duels too. Should be starting mid week if he is fit

 

[golden_blunder]

I like him. Keep him in please Ralfy

 

[Strootman's Finger]

I was really impressed with him today, IMO someone needs to win that spot back from him, because he's earned it going forward. I have a really good feeling about him, I like the way he plays and the attitude he has when playing, he seems very focused, direct and not phased by anything around him.

 

[Champ]

Elanga is the real deal, absolute great player.
No fear, positive with every decision, liking the look of him in the first team. Hope he continues.

 

[Oranges038]

Did alright.

Feck all end product but plenty of endeavour and plenty of running, what I liked most was that he actually makes runs off the ball and does some unselfish running too.

 

[A-man]

Me too. Win several air duel. He is very athletic and can jump really well…

Maybe he’ll be a good player in the box one day!

 

[Red Shorts]

I suggested not to start him before, however he gave a good outing today.

 

[Bondi77]

Im very impressed too and was looking forward to seeing him but I don’t see him as a Rashford type who’ll get you 15- 20 goals from out wide/playing up top. He’s too busy getting around the pitch working hard and I’m ok with that. I think that’s more the direction we need to go in future. Only play one of Rash/Mason for a start. Just not enough creativity or work rate there to leave them both standing up top. I thought Greenwood was good enough today. On another day he’d have a goal or two. At least he doesn’t look totally lost

He scored on his full debut last season and he has scored quite a few for the u23s and the Swedish u21 side so I do not get where you get the no end product from??
The GK made a good save from his effort in the second half which was a cracking effort from his weaker foot.
Looking forward to seeing a lot more from this young man.

 

[Statue of Limitations]

Very encouraging today, great to see.

 

[tentan]

Looked lively. Has to start from now on.

 

[Ixion]

Can anyone dig out his stats, I think I counted him winning the ball back 3 times for us, looked like he put in a good all round shift.

 

[DWelbz19]

Quick and direct. Essential in the PL. Looks much more like Mane/Salah than any of other forwards.

Greenwood, Martial, and Rashford look this (probably even more) exciting when they first came through too. Then we broke them

 

[Neil_Buchanan]

I really like him, seems crazy that we have spent so much money on wide forwards recently when we already had this potential.

 

[Deery]

One of the major positives from yesterday, looks miles better than whatever else we offer..

 

[Pogue Mahone]

I generally dislike praising players by shitting on others but his workrate off the ball made such a refreshing change from the assorted sulk-merchants who’ve played that role over the last few years. Chalk and cheese.

 

[sillwuka]

He gave us a different dynamic on the left. Great to see.

 

[Mickeza]

Seriously don’t get people saying he won’t score goals - he had 3 chances, his finishing is normally top notch and he has great movement. Of course he’s going to get goals.

 

[DevTheRed]

Really liked the look of him. Nothing spectacular, but just did the simple things really well.. linking up with team mates, runs in behind, little one-twos and tracked back.. it’s really what Rashford needs to go back to and simplify his game again.

Deserves to start the next game in my opinion!

 

[Bestietom]

Young players like him are our future. I would like to see more given a chance also. We have players on that bench only taking up space and are never going to get game time. They are holding up the opportunities for these young players.

 

[Mickson]

I've watched him every week for like five years, trust me, goalscoring isn't one of his weaknesses nor will it be in the future. One of his strengths is that he can score goals out of nothing, his movement is great and he has two good feet, and obviously is quite decent at heading too. His movement, goalscoring, always trying to take his man on with pace and grit are his strengths. His touch can be kind of heavy sometimes, as well as his passing. Can he develop those things further, then he will be a good player for United.

Really like him, and we need players like him who will give 110%. Hope he makes it regularly.

 

[GledTheRed]

He's bigger than both.

 

[crossy1686]

He's bigger than both.

Maybe he is but he’s not used to the physicality of the PL yet, or at least that’s what I thought yesterday when Cash just kept swinging him to the ground in the second half when we were trying to play the ball to his feet. Someone else suggested he was injured which could have been why also.

Either way, he was good yesterday, would be great if he could stake a claim for the first team.

 

[Pickle85]

Did really well. Looked lively, willing to run at players and showed a decent touch. Probably should have played Bruno in when he didn't lift his head and opted to shoot instead but that slightly calmer head and decision making will come. Offers something different for us at the mo...great to see him taking his chance and fair play to RR for giving him chances.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Haven't seen the best of him yet, he's a silky finisher and great dribbler. If he gets a run of games he'll be able to show it.

 

[AltiUn]

Seriously don’t get people saying he won’t score goals - he had 3 chances, his finishing is normally top notch and he has great movement. Of course he’s going to get goals.

He was always very productive in the youth teams.

 

[Carl]

Seriously don’t get people saying he won’t score goals - he had 3 chances, his finishing is normally top notch and he has great movement. Of course he’s going to get goals.

Aye. Weird criticism. Looked dangerous yesterday.

 

[lost7]

That was decent, nothing superb but I liked what I saw. Considering he's only 19, I can only imagine he might grow into a good player in the future. Or he could turn out to be a Dan James, who knows

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Seriously don’t get people saying he won’t score goals - he had 3 chances, his finishing is normally top notch and he has great movement. Of course he’s going to get goals.

It’s not like we’re having to be patient waiting for him to get off the mark. He scored on his second start!

 

[Berbasbullet]

Seriously don’t get people saying he won’t score goals - he had 3 chances, his finishing is normally top notch and he has great movement. Of course he’s going to get goals.

People saying that? He was very unlucky not to score last night.

 

[Acole9]

He's doing everything that I want to see from Rashford and Sancho.
