The 'standout game' thing is as much my shit memory as anything else, as I don't remember individual games like that. I couldn't tell you which games Rashford was a standout in either.The fact that you can't name a single standout game is evidence enough that he's not good enough and neither are Lingard and Mata. What you may consider good matches seems to be wide off the mark of what I expect a squad player at United to be. All three of them need to he sold imo, because using the "better than Mata and Lingard" excuse, not as if that's even true, is bonkers. They're all just a different shade of shite in my eyes.
We might sell all three of them, but personally I expect we'll want to keep one as an emergency backup, at least for one season as our youngsters and new players bed in further. Pereira is the youngest, lowest wage and performed the best this season, so it makes sense that it's him.
Mata has two assists in the league this season. Pereira has one goal and three assists.Mata at least has a few assists to his name, does Pereira?
We know Mata has quality albeit his physical capabilities are waning whereas we're still waiting to see if Pereira has any.
