He’s a genuinely terrible attacker. Not necessarily a terrible footballer, but purely as an attacker he offers as little goal threat as I’ve ever seen from a United winger. Doesn’t create, doesn’t assist, doesn’t score, can’t dribble, isn’t particularly athletic, kills pretty much every counter attack that lands at his feet. Honestly, anytime we’re on the break and he gets the ball you know the move is over. 1 assist in 22 games is beyond woeful. It’s indefensible.
He works very hard, and he does keep possession. But even that’s a little less impressive when he literally never tries anything even remotely creative or risky. You could stick most PL level wingers outwide & tell them to just keep the ball & not give it away and they’d be able to do it. It only really becomes impressive if he’s able to be creative whilst also not giving the ball away constantly.
It’s just nowhere near good enough. People are lying to themselves if they’re truly impressed with him so far. That or they are lowering their standards to a level far beneath that of what a Manchester United attacker should be.

we thought he was a cnut.
