Very good performance . nice touches good link up play . but I was most impressed with the positions he was getting into once the players start reading those runs he is going to run riot .

He played like someone who wanted to impress. Deserves a start against West Ham.
This guy and Mata would be fecking mental in a diamond.

Nice get out clause for your opinion.
Until we win the League and CL double you can keep on doubting him.
He'll start racking up the numbers once he plays more and gets used to this system.
Very pleased with his performance.Looked like an ex-BD player today. We even got a bit of luck, Rooney was just on side I think, but it could have been called the other way. I thought they were lucky not to have that defender sent off, looked like a foul to me. And the own goal went our way as well.. The tide turns
He had a couple of sloppy moments; lost possession of the ball too easily once and also misplaced a simple pass. May have been some other moments too, can't remember.
This performance just showed the stupidity of freezing him out before. Those who have seen him play knew what he is capable of. We'd probably have a few more points and a more fluid attack. Hopefully he gets a run if games now.
Should've had an assist, could've had a goal. Very positive performance considering his lack of match practice. Hopefully he'll be involved on Sunday.
His moves so quick it's like he's on wheels.
Shame he's supposedly a bit fragile mentally because he could be as good as we've got if he can kick on.

Should have earned a start at weekend with that show.
Looks good. Hope Jose saw what he wanted to see in Mkhi and continues to start him. Well played today.
Even though he's one of the few, ever dwindling players in said squad to have actually won the CL? Created a goal in the final, no less!....In fact created or scored a goal in every final he's ever played, including one for us, and the winner in this very competition? (I bring this up a lot, cos it's a really, really great stat, innit?)
Eitherway, wrong thread. Mkhis pretty good though, ain't he?
I don't particularly agree with Raees on Mata, but why is it so outlandish to suggest we'd need a complete overhaul to win the EPL or Champions League?
If it was possible to start from scratch there's only 2 or 3 I'd choose to keep at all cost.
What we need right now. Hope we see a lot more of him.
A disgrace he has not been involved until now. If we needed any proof Mourinho has failed so far then just play him a video of Mkhs second half game today.
Fecking bizarre I'm telling you.
Well that's daft.
Very impressed with him tonight. Was a joy to watch, the man plays with purpose.
Great tonight but can't see Jose overlooking zlatan, rooney and Mata as the front 3 (with Carrick, Pogba and Ander behind) at the weekend.
I hope I'm wrong.

I'm sure these posters know better... from the match day thread:
Ends up being MoTMAnd Mhiki is looking in despair
Why are people so incapable of understanding that there is more to what goes on in a football team than the 90 minutes or less we see on the pitch from week to week?
Just because he's done well tonight doesn't mean Mourinho has been wrong and there's been some kind of feck up to not have him play every minute.
Injury niggles, time to settle, managing the players needs, getting him fully comfortable. There's more to this shit than you see on FM ffs.

I mainly meant his first touch, anyone can misplace a pass especially if the teammate doesn't time the run properly. But ball control is very important in order to keep the attack flowing and I think he's got that in spades.
He has also been really poor. There may be a reason Jose wanted to hide him from the spotlight and let him get comfortable with his teammates before bringing him out on display. You simply don't know.
It's weird, particularly since he seemed excited to sign him.
He was very good in the second half and considering the time he has been without first team football the future could be very bright for him.
Well we are in serious trouble in the context of being CL winning standard, or even EPL winning standard.
Can the current side win the Europa League? I hope so. Is this side EPL winning material or capable of reaching CL semi finals - no fecking chance in its current state.
Yes an overhaul in attack is required. You can't have Wayne Rooney and Ibra as your main CF's if you want to win the CL or win the league.
Well surely that is what a club of this standard should be striving for.. to win the league and challenge for CL honours. Otherwise if it isn't are we just another Arsenal?
His pressing high up the pitch is fantastic.
Very good match.
Hope he starts at West ham. Surely Mourinho cant leave him out after this performance?
Really really pleased for him.
Got better and better as the game went on, was unlucky not to score tonight.
Passed and moved really well and his dribbling through the middle is something we haven't had in a long time.
Can't wait to see him play more.

Started a bit shaky, but grew into the game. His second half was fantastic. His ability to drive with the ball is brilliant.
Mickitastic!
don't understand why he had not started already (excusing the injury). Not sure what the great surprise is with his performance, he was doing this week in and week out in Germany. He just needed a little push about 2 months ago and things may have been different. He is a more important signing for me than Pogba!
Think him and Rooney both earned starts against West Ham with tonight's performances.
Not sure if either will get them though...

Unfortunately, I think we'll go back to a 4141 against West Ham, with a midfield of Carrick, Herrera and Pogba, which probably means Rooney and Mata beside Ibra.
I'm not really seeing it... His touch was generally nice, but he didn't do all that much.
Nice to see him playing though. Certainly nowhere near motm for me today, but decent. Here's hoping he gets a few games now, and shows a bit more.

You do know Mata has won the CL don't you and was his team's player of the year?
Good classy game. One touch, quick play really set the tempo for the attack. Very Impressed. I feel like he has a few more gears in there as well.
Very good in the second half. Maybe could have passed instead of shooting. Looks like he wanted a goal badly.
