Agreed. Memphis was the biggest bright spot of the game for me. Just a shame he struggled from the start in his last match. If he can string a run of good games together over Christmas then I reckon he could nail down a starting spot with a bit of allowance for his inevitable inconsistencies.

Very pleasing and positive cameo. Sort of showed me glimpses of the player I thought we had signed!
Hope he kicks on from here.

That dribble when he set up a chance for Martial was exactly what you would expect him to do regulary. Of course, he doesn't have to dribble past three players and put it on plate for our forward in every attack, but creating something out of nothing at least one or two times per game is I think decent expectations from any winger playing for top team.
I don't expect him to have great final ball yet but I expect him to at least get past players bit easier than he did this season so far, final ball will eventually come with years.

really hope that resting him was good for him and he can put in a shift today. God knows we need it.
Kinda hope he's up top with Martial on the left.
hope he has a great game! Mata in the middle seems also positive to me for both wide players but I believe Jesse might interchange with Juan a lot, we lack a bit of mobility in the middle so would be actually nice to see Jesse in the middle pulling strings
Wolfsburg 3:2 Man Utd
Zero value player.
Invisible, hardly beat a man today.
"Hardly" is a generous descriptor.
Either let him play more centrally/close to goal or bench him.Not a winger.
He's worked hard but really struggles playing wider.
He's absolutely unable to beat a man 1 on 1, which in the position he plays is a pre-requisite. Im concerned to be honest, because we purchased him as a winger/wide forward and its looking like his skillset is as a CF.
I'll say it again: a fraud.
I still think it's way too early to judge him fully. He's had some decent games and does have potential, but is incredibly inconsistent at the moment and is having too many games like this one where he doesn't make much of an impact out wide and looks quite average. Hopefully he'll improve though.
I think we really should count him as either a forward option or a backup winger from now on.No middle ground.He just doesn't have "it" at winger position it's not even the matter of form or adapting to the new football environment.Just not his position really.
Not even as a backup winger, he simply cant play there its bizare.
The problem is non of our current wingers are good enough to be counted as anything more than backup.
Don't think he can play as a winger really. His strengths are his movement and quick interplay and usually his goalscoring, not dribbling past players 1 v 1.
He's easily the worst though so it's just a matter of picking the best option out of what we have and I don't think he's the one.
I think he can cause some havocs from the bench when the defenders are tired but that's it.
His quick interplay is poor. He occasionally flicks it nicely, and that's about it.
He's a right-footed Hulk:
Pretty much looks crap every time you watch him.
Has a hard shot/ free kick.
Can't dribble, other than the very occasional run.
Is too bulky.
He basically needs to be running on the counter attack into yards of space, or striking the ball to be of any use.
Need to try him at full back.
Great play there.
I feel that if we can not fix Depay, their is no need to buy anymore attacking wide players under this management. They seem to become half the player they are when they join us. Di Maria and Depay are two quality wingers before we bought them and when they play for us, they look good for a couple of months, then they become average despite being very talented players.
Great play again.
Been very good this second half.
Yep, not a bad half from him, really. Too bad we couldn't capitalize.
If we give him the space to work with, to take on the defenders at speed, then he works. Our possession close play with the tight spaces being worked by passing is a waste of his skills.
All I'll say is he seems shite. Prove me wrong Memphis.
Good effort
Had a good second half after a bad first.
Not good enough. Doubt he will be.
A lot better in the second half. Far from perfect, but I felt like he certainly offered some sort of threat.
Wonder how he feels about his old club progressing in the CL ahead of us.
Good second half. A bit quiet in the first but he wasn't awful or anything. Some weird posts in here.
Subpar first half, although he was working hard, good second half.
I really fail to see why he was any worse than lingard or Martial today. against West Ham as well.
Doubt he cares much as long as he can get some more fancy grillz for his mouth
He has a very low footballing intelligence, he reminds me of Theo Walcott in this regard (certainly a few years ago), always taking the wrong choice.
Time and time again he cuts inside where it's incredibly congested and he has no room. It works when counter-attacking, but not this way.
Perhaps play him on the right, like a normal human being would.

A rather anonymous first half but was one of our better players in the second.
