Went from shite to world-class in the space of about 20 minutes on the Caf
Mata has been good this season but as to whether I am wrong on Mata.. we shall see in the long term.
My argument has always been for us to return to CL winning ways and win the EPL, Mata wouldn't be in my first XI. I still stick by that statement even though he's one of the best players in the current squad.
He has the quickest feet at the club and also good acceleration. I hope he can build on his performance tonight.
Note what I said.. pace and power 'down the line'. It is a different sort of pace you need to be effective down the wing compared to when you dribble through the centre.
I have always said stick Mkhi down the middle and he'll be brilliant, he is very quick for that position but as a pure winger, I don't think he has the pace and consistent running at players to be a proper winger.
Yea that's stupid.
I think he looks interested.
Hopefully this is the beginning of a long career at United 
His link up play and movement is great. Really makes the attack tick.
Very good tonight thank god, needs to start every game for the foreseeable to continue bedding him in.
How many times has he won the ball today?
If Mata isn't good enough for a team in the CL then we're in serious trouble, because he's easily one of our best players.
perfect game to put him into, has looked tasty, and must get a real confidence booster from this
Will he be sold in January alreadY? Wasnt that what half the people posted after the Arsenal game?
Much better this half, great runs and interplay, put in a better contribution on defence too.
Think he'll get a sub appearance on the weekend and start the game next week.

This thread is unreal entertainment at times
First half was alright, second half was more impressive. Earned himself a cameo at the weekend at least you'd think.
Rashford/Martial have both been shite on the left so far this season so surely Mkhi's earnt another start at the weekend?
Brings a one-touch style of play not many of our players are confident with. Can see him, Mata, and Herrera playing some great stuff together. Really want to see him integrated in the team, I think he can become very good. Too early to tell really, but some good signs some not so good.
That second half from him was brilliant. Hopefully Mou trusts him on the weekend.
Have to start him
cracking player. has to be a regular, anything else is criminal.
Very good second half.
Now give him the next few games and let him build on this positive, please.

To be match fit,you've got to play continuous games and that's why he has been substituted.He had a very good game especially in the 2nd half and I hope he goes on from here.we are hoping and praying he does well for us.How the feck did you come up with a conclusion that he is not match fit?
If he can't get into your first eleven as one of the best players in the squad, surely you mean nobody in the squad is good enough and a total total overhaul is required?
And now he's had a good game that's all down to Mourinho, right? Mkhitaryan doesn't deserve any credit, does he?
Some really positive glimpses. I really like the quick, one touch interplay he brings. I can't wait to see him click alongside players like Mata, Herrera and Pogba. Those 4 especially will be able to retain the ball and control the tempo of the game really well.
All this while still being rusty and unfamiliar with the team. Old silver fox better play him from now on. Him and Mata combining football intelligence on the pitch would be jizzworthy
I do hope him getting taken off means he'll be starting this weekend.
This performance in some part explains why Borrusia had a twitter rage in the summer.
Have to love when you're right.This man is world class has got everything to make it here.About time he was given his chance to shine.
Excellent technique, dont really remember him having a bad touch today. Jose can't ignore him anymore
Very good. Quick, direct, and constantly trying the smart 1-2's to open up defences. Him, Mata and Rooney worked well together. I think the issue is when Martial and Rashford play out wide they stick out wide, but Mkhi like Mata likes to come central and when they were close together they played real good football.
that run through the middle was Messi Like! Excellent second half and deserved a goal for sure.
Looked good in the system today, lots of involvement. The three behind Zlatan all interchanging could be an interesting development for the player and team
Good performance after a long lay-off.
Nervous first half, came into his own during the second half.
Really happy with the link up play.
Really happy with the link up play.
I still can't believe the likes of Memphis, Lingard and Morgan have gotten on the bench ahead of him all season.
