He hasn't had a huge amount of chances, however the pattern of his performances in those chances is the concern. He makes very little impact, it is not that he is giving the ball away constantly, making a lot of mistakes, more that he is just not doing much of anything, tidy anonymity on the ball, next to nothing defensively. When he gets his chances this season he has to be focused on making an impact, and being a player that the others can rely on, not just there, making up the numbers.
Fred and McTominay make a lot of mistakes with the ball, but their activity, pressing, aggression, ground covered still makes for a net positive, I really don't see VDB as a viable option in a 3 man midfield(which is really a 2 with Bruno pressing up, and with a non-pressing Ronaldo about to come into the team, and Pogba as well who is a defensive negative) but it is his only option as his lightweight Dele Ali thing is not enough for an attacking role at a club like Utd, maybe in 2015, but not now.
