He's rapid and he knows where to put the ball. Should have had some assists today.

He has been amazing so far, best value for money signing this season
Add Sancho to the mix and we can finally say, we're a team with real wings.
Most rapid and in the same time precise player in the team, currently.

I didn’t realise he also had such fast feet ball control. Along with his pace and visionary passing. And still a teenager.
This kid might just have it all. Quickly becoming my favourite player.

Massive credit to the manager for signing him
Say what?
Give me a clip of him running from one box to another alone is enough for 1 million views.
This guy reminded me of the old golden days of Rooney and Ronaldo counter attacking teams.
Surely signing of the season if we managed top 6.
That counter attack,where Rashford missed the sitter, just illustrates his maturity in those circumstances. He just waited for the defender to make a mistake in the box and took full advantage of what should've of been a 4th goal.
I agree with you, to me watching Giggs flow across the pitch at top speed, dropping defenders with feints and swiveling hips is far more entertaining that step-overs and flip flaps, but most YouTube comps concentrate on the latter.
One thing is his pace, but what has impressed me the most is his passing. Almost every good counter move starts with him, and if he does not have the space himself he can usually find a teammate with an inch perfect pass.

I'd say the best value for money since Chicharito, brilliant addition and very intelligent, as he is just not a kick and run merchant, he actually looks up to assess his options and almost always picks the right option. All this at high speed.
He is 22 today - but otherwise I agree
His passing is seriously good.
*touch wood* we've found a gem at long last.

Controlling the ball with top speed like that is more difficult than attempting a roulette, rabona, or some ridiculous shit.
Well maybe because I'm getting old and a fat fecker playing football..
He's a very good footballer. His football intelligence is much higher than I thought it would be.
That shuffle of the hips where he dropped the defender on his ass on the counter was magical to watch.. old school dribbling at its finest.
Oh! Thought he was younger. Doesn’t matter and probably better for us as he is he’ll hit his peak soonerHe is 22 today - but otherwise I agree
He needs to learn when to try and flick it past an opponent and when to just let them clear it out and take the throw in. Once of these shithouse defenders in the lower rungs of the PL is going to seriously injure him.
So he needs a new nickname.

I don't know if I said this during pre-season as I've had this thought since watching him for us, but his demeanor on the ball, coupled with his body shape and ability to turn with the ball quickly really remind me of Ribery.
Yeh. It will be hard to get a better RW than him, other than spending 100m+. Can't imagine what our attack would be, if we don't have him but playing Mata/Lingar/Pereira there. Uugghh..
Our no. 10 is definitely a priority now, and maybe one experience CF for rotation.
Everyone looks a teenager at our age sammy
Sancho in place of who?
This guy is so intelligent. He does the basics so well.
These talking about Sancho is starting to remind of Griezmann. I doubt he'll ever come anyway.
Rashford or James and since we want to get rid of Sanchez anyway, Sancho would have plenty of playing time.
Could it be that we've found our right winger finally? Love him on the right, and his decision making is quite good too. What a signing.
If we ever want to come back to Champions League level we better start thinking ambitious.
His crossing is getting better and better. Hes actually able to run fast and be productive while with the ball unlike so many other players with pace to burn.
True. It just seems a bit unfair to James and Rashford. But agreed that we do need at least one more winger.

Didnt really see the fuss at first, but he is looking really good recently.
Hasn't Sancho declined this season?
Don't know exactly what level he can reach, but it's nice having a proper wide player at RW after so long.
Weirdly, since his goals dried up after those first few games, his all round play and general contribution has improved a great deal. He's great in the press, he's stopped ducking out of challenges and he'll take a clattering when needed. His crossing keeps getting better.
Good to see our right back not be completely isolated, like the last 6 years.

We need to starting making the most of his crosses.
He's 19, it's almost obvious he won't play every full season at highest form at this stage of career.
If he won't have a good season, then perhaps there would be no absurd price tag, but if Ole will find someone better then be my guest.
Kid has been quite good
Our luck to injuries will get him a starting role, don't worry.
100% Agreed, mate. On second thought, I edited my last response.
No problem, SAF used to have 4 strikers and despite they had less minutes to play, the rotation gave so much goods to this team.
