To the people that think he's great, I want to know what he is actually great at, and what he offers that our other midfielders don't?
I saw him play for the Dutch NT during the international breaks last year. He was in the right place at the right time to score against Spain and Italy as a starter. He was good in the box when he came on as an impact sub later in the last international break before the euros.
Guy is smart around the box and has a knack for scoring goals. He also works his socks off when he's not on the ball.
So if he's Holland's top scorer for the 20/21 season pre injury/Euro while putting in a good defensive shift, why can't Ole use him as sub to get a goal and take out an underperforming midfielder at the same time?
And I don't think Ajax's 5th best player is great, I do however think he's better than Pereira/Lingard as a no 10.
He's definitely not good enough in the pivot behind Bruno for United, but neither is McFred and Matic, so he should be given a chance there if his last 2 apps in that position were decent (Wolves & Everton) and the others are stinking it up (Matic & Fred) or injured (McTominay).
He also started out alright when he joined, and his performances only fell off a cliff after he was completely dropped.
