We are all thinking the same thing: please be the next modric.Hoping he can age like Modric.

He will. The challenge is to keep him fit and not overplayed. Intelligent footballers tend to be affected less by age because they were never physical to begin with.Hoping he can age like Modric.
It almost get's even more impressive, when you consider he had 6 goals in his first 57 games for Denmark, before we changed manager and he really kicked up his performances a notch.No freakin' way. Those are insane stats considering Rooney is England's all time at 53!!!
You are certainly right in that being even more impressive!It almost get's even more impressive, when you consider he had 6 goals in his first 57 games for Denmark, before we changed manager and he really kicked up his performances a notch.
He pretty much dragged us single-handedly to the 2018 World Cup with his goals. 11 goals throughout that qualifying campaign, including a superb hattrick against Ireland in the play-offs. Can't wait to see his first goal for United.
You’re joking, right? That happens several times every match. Did you watch the goal? He takes no time turning and taking one touch in a fluid motion before shooting.What a beauty, soft first touch, turning, setting up the ball and striking it in all one fluid motion.
To be fair, it would be hard to score goals like this in the premier league because most teams won't give him that much time as they did here. Also, he isn't playing that forward for us.
Defensive errors dont happen in PL? He wasnt given time but the defense was out of shape cause of Šutalo's error.What a beauty, soft first touch, turning, setting up the ball and striking it in all one fluid motion.

Don't forget Martínez.By a distance our best signing and the profile of player we have been crying out for for the last 10 years.
Fair enough, I just saw a longer clip. The one I had seen earlier began from the moment he received the ball.Defensive errors dont happen in PL? He wasnt given time but the defense was out of shape cause of Šutalo's error.
Don't sleep on Malacia, the lads been great.Don't forget Martínez.
In terms of importance to the team, I'd put Eriksen and Martínez way ahead of everyone right now.Don't sleep on Malacia, the lads been great.
Yeah, delighted that everyone else was sleeping. He's the single biggest thing we've missed for about 10 years. A ball playing central midfielder.Makes you wonder why only us and Brentford were in for him. I felt at the time and still now, he's a top top player and wouldn't look out of place in any of the top sides.
What a majestic hat trick that was. Marvellous player and I wanted us to sign him for years, so happy he is plying his trade here now.It almost get's even more impressive, when you consider he had 6 goals in his first 57 games for Denmark, before we changed manager and he really kicked up his performances a notch.

Being Irish I hated it and I especially didn't enjoy watching it from the Danish end at Landsdowne.What a majestic hat trick that was. Marvellous player and I wanted us to sign him for years, so happy he is plying his trade here now.
I know spurs fan will disagree but he has been looking better off late than even in his prime at Spurs and trust me I know was amazing at spurs.
He’s developed his game with age. Different player and a mark of qualityCome on man, he's been good but he did some crazy stuff at Spurs too. Don't think he looks better than he did at Spurs, at all
Bet Klopp and that lot are fumingStaggeringly good in the first half tonight against France. They have no answer to him at all. He could play for any team in the world. What a player he is!
At Spurs he was an attacker.Come on man, he's been good but he did some crazy stuff at Spurs too. Don't think he looks better than he did at Spurs, at all
He was a number 10 for Spurs. That's an attacking midfielder, not an attacker. He is playing a little further back for Utd but it's not that different really.At Spurs he was an attacker.
At Man Utd he is a midfielder. Reminiscent of the change Scholes went through at a similar stage. When he was younger, I thought he struggled tactically when deployed deeper in the pitch.
Watching him there now I think he might get more recognition as a central midfielder than as an attacker. People never really warm to slow wide playmakers like him. As a central midfielder, he is not that different to a few greats (Xavi, Scholes etc).
He certainly would be. It's amazing how little competition we had for him. I couldn't understand how underwhelmed pundits and fans were when we signed him. It was obvious how integral he would be for us.Bet Klopp and that lot are fuming
Would have been ideal for them
A central midfielder is absolutely different to an attacking midfielder.He was a number 10 for Spurs. That's an attacking midfielder, not an attacker. He is playing a little further back for Utd but it's not that different really.
Played just as much as AMR/AML as AMC.He was a number 10 for Spurs. That's an attacking midfielder, not an attacker. He is playing a little further back for Utd but it's not that different really.
Pretty different, most footballers can't transition that well to being a deep progressor/controller after being a #10. Completely different roles and responsibilities between playing always in the attacking phase vs playing in the build up phase.He was a number 10 for Spurs. That's an attacking midfielder, not an attacker. He is playing a little further back for Utd but it's not that different really.
Yes but it's not an 'attacker'A central midfielder is absolutely different to an attacking midfielder.
That's just not true. He has never been a winger or a wide attacker. He has however played as a left midfielder, a central midfielder and a central attacking midfielder.Played just as much as AMR/AML as AMC.
He’s played both right and left. He was a much more attacking player at Spurs. He’s now adapting into a number 6 metronome type.That's just not true. He has never been a winger or a wide attacker. He has however played as a left midfielder, a central midfielder and a central attacking midfielder.
