Football is not a video game where players have this natural potential ability all the time. Plenty players would be good enough if they were given a chance.
Want an example?
People complain about Young still being our RB but Varela & TFM would still have been better than him. The only reason they are not is because Jose chucked them out soon as they saw them and trusted young instead.
Plenty players that have been good enough in the PL have struggled at other rubbish clubs - so just because a player is now a permanent fixture at a second degree club doesn't mean they were never good enough for United.
Footballers are human & if they are bought up the right way they have the ability to succeed art united alongside some of their natural abilities to play football well. If Ole or Giggs had taken over from LVG's 2nd season we would have Rashford, Martial & Lingard playing well alongside the likes of Tuenzebe and TFM or CBj etc.
LVG played all those players in one season & not two. That's was extraordinary work to literally go through players like a treadmill and finding some players that were good enough and some that were not.

Zaha was lost at United and you saw it at his face and his haircut. He was scared and out of his sorts looking like David Moyes at a big club at a young age playing for managers that didn't believe in him because they didn't buy him straight away. He looked distraught and couldn't control a football whilst looki g like a less heavy version of Lukaku.
Zaha needed to go to build his career again - allowing himself to be the main man again at crystal Palace. The guy was lost at United.
It's not like he instantly started kicking on the following season at crystal Palace like Blind did for Ajax - he took his time and is still with crystal Palace with no one still buying him.
