He's not starting tomorrow ? :(

That will rock his confidence massively if he is dropped from the squad altogether.

Before he made the mistake against Liverpool there wasn't one complaint in this thread about his performance. Once the mistake happened the floodgates opened. Lots of people saying he'd had a terrible half and should have been subbed earlier etc.

Interesting how one moment seems to swing opinion.

He must be tired as feck and possibly just rested since Valencia's back.

Not true. I have questioned his defensive nous after every game.

His positioning, one on one defending and general defensive approach needs a lot of improvement. Saying which does not equate to writing him off.

Well it is true mate because what I described is what happened. Have a look.

Van Gaal is a real piece of work isn't he? Goes on and on about youth, drops young players after their first mistake. Unless you're Memphis Depay, of course.

This kid has been one of the few highlights of the season and one poor performance and it's curtains. Shame his name isn't Rooney or Fellaini.

That's a pretty lame excuse for feckin up unless you are a make shift defender.
He is just a kid who has been thrown into the mix for several reasons. He is allowed to feck up at the big stage sometimes.
It was not an excuse. It was an observation as to why he was exposed for things that nobody noticed. The Varela/Lingard combo was far more effiicient and beneficial for the team.

I don't believe in that ridiculous theory of "youth getting better treatment or breathing space". Although I believe it is essential an individual takes into account the reasons as to why a poor performance may account and whether or not it is fixable or understood, but we must grade and judge our players fairly and hold them accountable to them especially if their performance contributes to a bad result. If not, then that individual is lying to himself

I think he had to be left out of the team after my his performance against Liverpool, dropping him from the squad was maybe a bit harsh though. Be interesting to see how many games he gets now there are other options.

I want this guy to start as our first choice RB next season. Give him a chance to prove himself. Let Darmian show what he has to displace him but Varela looks better going forward.

Hasn't been in the squad since Liverpool. Think he's a gifted player. Once he's more positionally aware and stronger, he'll be some RB. Would be a mistake to sell because of a 31 year old Valencia IMO.

Positionally all over the show, he's useful as a squad player though.

He will probably never play under van Gaal again. He does not forgive.

I have a feeling (well for as long as LVG stays) he will be frozen out like Blackett and McNair. And pretty much Pereira and Januzaj...

At the moment he's behind TFM, Valencia and Darmain all for good reason.
What reason is that? He's been better than Darmian, Valencia has just come back from a 5 month lay off and TFM is just an inexperienced and isn't a natural right back.

On current form TFM has saved our ass more than once and it'd be hard to drop him. Darmian had one bad moment but otherwise he's consistent defensively when played in his position at not at left back. Valencia adds to our width when Mata is playing on the wings. Varela got consistent game time until he got out paced and shown up by Coutinho, that is just a bad memory for everyone. He had a piss poor game against Liverpool and he's been demoted as a reason.

And Darmian has been incredibly inconsistent, more so than Varela, Valencia offers almost nothing going forward and TFM should really be looking for time more centrally, his natural position. At the very least he's good enough to be making the bench.

bollox, Varela certainly deserves another chance, being skinned in one game doesn't mean shit Darmian was suspect in so many other games not just ones, let alone his absolutely catastrophic attacking contribution, for 13million he's one of the worst ever signings for manutd. when FosuMensah and other palyers come to the first team and have better games than this so called star form Italian league there must be something wrong, Fosu Mensah is a midfielder but if he continues to play right back he might have a bad game just like every youngster, as his positioning is really suspect and might cost him in one intense game. Valencia is mr consistent and has no future with us. Id rather give games to Varela to find out if he can take the second chance and if he deserves place in the squad for the next season because you know what you expect from Valencia, he will not get better... Darmian is just a useless player we should never buy...

Valencia manages the entire right wing all by himself and thats why him and mata work well in our right side.
