Very, very good tonight. If he’s like that over two full halves, we’re going to reap huge dividends as a midfield unit and team.

Fantastic start, exactly the type of player we needed to play deep alongside Casemiro
Top class.

Excellent performance, kept it ticking, good decisions on the ball, kept the tempo going, nothing flash or necessary, just very solid.
What a player
A central midfielder to pass the ball around in the first half and middle of the pitch…? Have we actually got one?
Looks very good. Him and Cas will be formidable.
There's nothing soft about Amrabat. Hard as vibranium.
We play much more liquid football and are a much more balanced team with players who look to build the play and are comfortable with the ball rather than players who give it cheaply away. Who would have thought?
Fantastic performance.
Fantastic performance.
It was an ideal start, for sure. Palace were very compliant and let him just knock the ball round without too much of a press to deal with.
However, he did everything right as well. Great availability, energy, strong in the tackle, and passed smoothly.

Very promising. Looking forward to seeing more of him.
But the Manchester United scouting department said he won’t suit English football …
Mount you mean. Bruno RW.
Hammer-abat
Completely fine at leftback in this match, although he wandered from the position to appear elsewhere when we had the ball
He's a much better passer of the ball than I expected
Don't want to overreact but he's the best midfielder I've ever seen
Absolute game changer having a midfielder that wants to show for the ball, can run and tackle and doesn't want to squander possession at every opportunity
Already cost us a few points if that's what delayed signing him
I like how he runs with one arm slightly out like a chicken wing, it’s like his hand is on the rudder and wherever he steers us I know it’s a safe haven.
Did well. I think he’ll eventually play next to Casemiro when everyone’s fit, but I think he probably starts LB again at the weekend.
I was half expecting Onana to hand him the gloves so he can play goalkeeper as well.
Please no Bruno RW
They’ll be briefing they picked him as a target if he puts in more performances like that.
Very encouraging start for him, could potentially make a big difference.

Absolute monster debut. I was almost brought to tears seeing a midfielder that actually wanted to get on the ball and efficiently pass it. Think he outdid McT's entire passing numbers this year in the first half alone
Brought physicality, good passing, and a ton of work rate. Basically everything we've been lacking.
Excellent debut.
Excellent debut.
Absolutely fantastic, and he played as the deepest so Casemiro could move up higher and focus on passes in the final third instead of picking up the ball from the defence.
Looks the absolute business, composed on the ball, and absolutely everywhere.
Half of them came at the end of the first half where him and Case had a private game of one touch
Obviously tougher challenges ahead but rare that a player comes in and plays exactly how we expected them to
Very very good! Also frees up Casemiro
Thought he looked pretty decent. Given I was pretty opposed to his signing, I’m pleasantly surprised. If he keeps that up I’m looking forward to getting my big fork out and tucking into a big slice of humble pie at the end of the season.
So weird, I thought he was bang average. Not bad, but nothing special. I'll have to look again.
Better then Pogba?
Did well.
Loved how confident and comfortable he was. Great solid home debut. Would love to see him start in CM Saturday. He's also really hot
That kept popping into my head during the match!Wears number 4, bald heard, beard
Did anyone else get flashbacks?
style wise though he reminds me of carrick
tell you what, him and Casemiro together are going to be some midfield
is this the first midfielder we've had who can play proper one-touch football since Scholes/Carrick? Feels like it
