I'm not saying they're great or anything but yeah I wouldn't say they were the worst team we have played this season. That was probably Sheffield united, a game which needed Depay to come off the bench and win us a last minute penalty to go through. This wasn't merely an adventure for them in the second leg though as we were without 14 first team players, I'm not saying its not a team we should crush, but at that time It wasn't a comfortable game and we were all worried we would go out as we were playing awfully. In that circumstance Depay stepped up and put in a genuinely superb performance, that megs he did to put the ball through to mata made me jump out of my seat I have never seen anything like it, and he also scored and created havoc, the talent is certainly there to see even if its not shown itself against the better teams too regularly. Lingard is never going to be the type of player to frighten the relegation fodder of the league, wheras depay has literally put defenders in tears.

You are absolutely right. He did step up and I was thinking we would go out due to our own faults, yet Depay delivered us to salvation and I thank him for it as it was entertaining. At the same time I didn't see us as a Europa League potential winners and don't value the competition so it was just an adventure for me. I would rather we performed in the premier league to secure top 4
Yeah and most of them are his defenders on here
I could see this season being a wake up call for him and with the likes of mourinho (a manager with a huge reputation) you could see depay working really hard to try and impress him.
For the record, despite my harsh views, I haven't written him off. I can't bring myself to write someone off after 12 months. it doesn't sit with me. I do need to see something soon though
Out of form depay and rojo down the left wing is enough to make all of us cry I think. I'm aware his form is very hit and miss I just think he's got a lot of potential and should be getting more minutes than he is.
Where did I say he was our starry number 7? Infact I actually mentioned how poor he was at times for us.
An impact at a 'much higher level'
I think there might be just a hint of exaggeration there. But if stats are your game then why didn't you include champions league and qualifiers, why didn't you mention key passes and chances created, because Depay beats Lingard in that department. Infact when looking at impact statistically going forward, their 'attacking score' combines everything and yup, you guessed it Depay trumps him again.But I digress, my point wasn't about how well Depay had played (in fact my original point was to the contrary) it's that Depay has an xfactor that Lingard doesn't, however poor Depay has been in a game he can still win it for you in a moment of brilliance. I've been saying for a good while he's a confidence player and that when he does something wrong it'd exaggerated. But he needs to up his game considerably to be a United regular, I just beleive he needs game time and proper player management to do that.
Give Memphis a second chance. He's clearly got the talent platform and athleticism, but what let him down this season was his attitude. He bought into the hype and ignored the basics of what a professional footballer has to do.
Where was Ryan Giggs when players like Memphis and Adnan needed his guidance?

Just like few other underperforming ones, Memphis will probably get some sort of a clean slate with new boss in charge.
Hopefully Jose will unlock much needed commitment and typical winner's arrogance on the pitch. Memphis got goods in his legs but his brain indeed needs some serious calibration with the Premier League.
Quite gutted that he didnt get another start, looked promising last match and we should be 100% winning this one, could do him good
Where he was supposed to be.

Lingaard is no more than back up level it is true, yet has more assists, more goals, in the premiership. I don't know how on Earth Memphis has higher attack score as they have created 11 chances each. Seems like bias. Any way, Memphis acts like he can win games, and fools people that he has this x factor but he really doesn't. Even Nani had an x factor. I don't see it with Memphis. He is a pretty good salesman as he sells this image well.Where did I say he was our starry number 7? Infact I actually mentioned how poor he was at times for us.

Man Utd 2:0 Crystal Palace
And probably he believes that shit too.
He's wouldn't be the worst young winger out there if he wouldn't have that persona.
He proper looks like John Legend. 8 out of 10 on looking like John Legend.
I wonder if he is carrying an injury, he looks laboured when he moves.
Agenda much
He's been completely overshadowed by Martial and Rashford. Big next season for him, if he doesn't perform I think he'll be sold.
I still have a glimmer of hope that he'll turn out good. He currently looks absolutely shite though and out of his depth.
Mirror claiming the club is looking for buyers.

His best game this season
He needs another season. It's only in the last few weeks we've actually started playing something resembling attacking football, but he's now not getting a sniff because Martial and Rashford are tearing it up, and Lingard puts in huge shifts.
I still think there is something about him worth giving chances to, and I don't think any player should be binned after only one season. Him, Darmian, and Schneiderlin should all get a 2nd season to prove their worth. Especially has this season has been miserable for the most part.

Absolute nonsense that article.
He need to stick it out and come back strong after a summer break where he doesn't let himself go.
Shaw had a tough first season too and came back hungrier from it. Evra took a good year to really settle into the side and become a world class player.
It can take time. He's a prideful guy with huge self belief, so this will have dented his ego somewhat. But he can't just let his Old Trafford career slip away so easily. He's still young at 22, so there's no need for him or the club to call it quits at this stage. Unless of course LvG stays on and has had a falling out with him.
He deserves a fresh start under a new regime. There have been glimpses of his potential.

We won't sell him.
It'd look bad on our part to future potential signings that we've punted both him and AdM after one year.

Yeah lets believe what random rubbish that the mirror are throwing around.
It's incredible that the Mirror thinks the "Who Ate All..." bit is funny. Wasn't that from a semi-amusing movie from over 10 years ago?
Man Utd 1:1 Leicester
Did well when he came on, considering he only had 9 minutes to do something against a parked bus. Should have won us a penalty if Oliver didn't have dicks for eyes.
Good cameo, agreed.
Watch people have a go at him for hitting the wall with the free kick and forget Rooney did the same today
I'll take that as a positive today. Scraping the barrel for them at the minute.
Good cameo, looked bright
Could have had a penalty.
Certainly made an impact of sorts.

He was good. If only we didn't have a potato as a manager...
He did really well.
I said before that late subs is most likely the best way for him at the moment where he can run at tired defenders.

Gave his team huge chance to win today.
Good minutes.
I'd rather see more of him over Lingard.
Should have come on earlier tbh.
