Not so Jazzy
I would really like to think he is but I haven't seen much besides a tidy enough midfielder so far. He's very young so who knows what he'll become. Besides his composure no qualities really jump out at me yet.
Composure isn't just a stand alone thing. He has composure because of his awareness and football iq, which allow him to understand where the ball needs to go before he receives it. He's also an excellent passer with very good vision. He does exactly what the position he plays requires him to do.I would really like to think he is but I haven't seen much besides a tidy enough midfielder so far.

Composure, touch, vision, technique and the consistency to execute all of these regularly and put it all together to be press resistant. Being a deep playmaker, the most important qualities are these. You don't need to be fast or strong, I don't want them to be box to box players. A quality midfielder like Scholes, Xavi, Pirlo are as good as they were because their base technique is so good and their mental attributesI would really like to think he is but I haven't seen much besides a tidy enough midfielder so far.

Having composure is a massive quality though... Being able to dictate play in a game at such a young age suggests you'll be a big talent in the future. The fact nothings jumping out at you is him making it look easy. There was a moment against Liverpool, he showed for the ball, took it on a half turn and played a through ball through Liverpools defence to garnacho like it was absolutely nothing. The fact that he's capable and competent enough to do something like that at his age in a game like that, is why people think he'll have a big future.I would really like to think he is but I haven't seen much besides a tidy enough midfielder so far.

While managing expectations I still feel excited when I see him play.Yes let him grow and then we can revisit this topic.
Utd fans are linking him with Madrid, and are moaning at me, for saying they're overrating him.
I hope he develops in to a great player and plays for England.
This.Some need to remember that a lot of us aren't just rating him off of his showings in the first team this season. A lot of us have rated his talent for years now. It's just his recent showings in the first team are adding to the promise we already have for him.
from the early days he looked exceptional. (that's why City has been trying to poach hime for so long). He will only get better. Would love to see him alongside Casemiro for a season or two and let Gore eventually replace Casemiro. My dream midfield (barring injuries) would beThis.
Was looking at old posts in the youth and youth cup threads… two years back and a lot of us singing his praises then. You can never be sure but he just looked “it”
Did he play deeper for the youth teams? He seems to drop deep naturally, and possibly more than Ten Hag wants him to at the moment to develop.Some need to remember that a lot of us aren't just rating him off of his showings in the first team this season.

In addition to his composure, he is press resistant, he has the ability to carry the ball forward, good first touches, solid defensive attribute, level headed like an experienced player that he had yellow card early vs Liverpool and still managed to contribute defensively without conceded penalty, and his passing to Garnacho chance vs Liverpool also shows he has it in his locker.I would really like to think he is but I haven't seen much besides a tidy enough midfielder so far.

"I'm not a troll" then posts "Needs to bulk" in same sentence...I've obviously been proven correct on Hojlund.
Just because I dont adhere to the narrative it doesn't make me a troll.
Infact I'd say anyone who say Manioo doesn't lack physical qualities is a troll.
I've seen various great Utd midfielders and I can assure you Mainoo is nowhere near one.

He is about the same height as Odegaard, Thiago, Wijnaldum, and lots of other successful PL central midfielders.Like a i said Utd fans have overhyped him. Totally lacks physical qualities.
He was sensational tonight. Keeping the pressure up in the second half was mainly down to him.
Yeah, fantastic playerHe was sensational tonight. Keeping the pressure up in the second half was mainly down to him.
