Got no idea. I think Niall scrapes the data from a website and different sites have different definitions for assists.I’m assuming his assist at Luton isn’t counted on his profile here for some reason? @Damien

His favourite number is 8 so will take that from Mata eventually you'd expect.He deserves the previously iconic 7 shirt.
If we are treating it as special shirt which in these days seems a questionable gesture/thing to do then he is the only player worthy right now. Rashford maybe in time but right now no one else is even close.
Yeah but this one is a bit weird because it was a simple pass to Mason. Maybe the website the stats come from don’t include the League Cup.Got no idea. I think Niall scrapes the data from a website and different sites have different definitions for assists.
He does that every game. And we forgive him because in amongst those poor passes are some absolute gems.Yes he did, seriously, he had a lot of poor, misplaced passes in the final 3rd and almost played them in with one mishhit pass.
Makes sense, yes. Although he gets the club so maybe the 7 should be his destiny. We've devalued this 'special' shirt far too much.His favourite number is 8 so will take that from Mata eventually you'd expect.
Love it.
That smile of surprise
Thought that last season. Some of the looks he used to fire at James.During the chance he set up a free James to make a run on the LW - he clearly thought twice about making the pass.
I think that He doesnt think he is good enough.
Not sure being out wide was the problem. I mean, he hardly hugged the touchline anyway. He and Mata (plus Pogba when he came on) had a free role in the final third, with James keeping the width.Don't want to see him out wide again.
I agree, no he wasn’t firing off shots all over the place, but this was the tidiest he has played in some time while also being very progressive with his passing. It’s the type of performance that has to become more regular if he is truly going to stay in the side as we continue to improve. Being a gunslinger is fine when your team is looking only to you for any sort of creativity. It’s a whole other issue when you are one of many players in the side that can create.I actually thought he was very good today, good passing, helped to keep possession, won some second balls. Don't remember him losing possession.
The team was in energy saving mode, what made it difficult for him.
Talking about people making things up.Curious, do you guys think he's world class?
Honestly I don't, not just from this season but also last season. Penalty is the only time where he's usually world class but I'm seeing his penalties this season to have messy rhythm - possible indication he's frustrated with how his teammates are and his confidence in us winning trophies. He does have top class mentality and driven to win though which many top world class players have... but ability wise and consistency, it's really not world class. I think his ceiling is just top elite level, and that is okay.
He's not world class... yet.Curious, do you guys think he's world class?

His playmaking, set-piece and shooting are his other best traits, but even those are seemingly getting worse and even at his best, it pales in comparison to other players who can do it far better.

Stat padler.. sometimes I wonder what people watch.But he only scores penalties !
Yeah I agree . That's something I've been thinking for quite a while. In the shit we have seen over the past years wearing that shirt he is now someone who would do the shirt justice.He deserves the previously iconic 7 shirt.
If we are treating it as special shirt which in these days seems a questionable gesture/thing to do then he is the only player worthy right now. Rashford maybe in time but right now no one else is even close.
I don't think he is and probably never will be recognised as world class ... and that's ok, his team contribution is top drawer, his stats speak for themselves and his character is incredible. I'm so glad he wears our shirt during this period, genuine star.Curious, do you guys think he's world class?
That's a mad post to say the least . So you think Bruno's thoughts on United not challenging for trophies is impacting his penalties? It's crazy posts like this that make this place a laughing stock at times .Curious, do you guys think he's world class?
