Played really well but also thought ten hag was right to take him off. Mitoma started to get more joy from him the longer the game went on. He gave him nothing for most of the game.

Great performance, how is this the same player from last season
No chance. They already decided. He can have 20 games in a row like that and they'll wait for a gif of him miscontrolling the ball in the 21st game and say "See his technique isnt good enough"
I would say Mitoma started heading into the middle as he couldn't deal with Bissaka. He only became more threatening then. On the outside he had absolutely nothing.
Got rid of the weighted gear.
I am here for it

One of his best games. Defensively fantastic but going forward to, some really good runs. His ball control imo has never been an issue but his passing at times.
Today I enjoyed that performance

People confusing flair technical ability and good technique.
AWB never had problems receiving the ball, he mostly never lost it. He has long legs, sometimes it looks awkward and our fans slating him for that.
Been defending this since his first season with us.
Madders knows ball
Still wishing we take a look at him especially if Leicester go down, he's class
What was that run?! He was brilliant today.
He's been consistently very good this season. The grass is always greener to some.
He is far from being among our best players, but he was never as bad as people made out. He was young when he joined us and he came with absolutely no high level or high pressure experience as he was hardly playing for Real Madrid.
Therefore he was always going to improve.

Mitoma couldn’t take him. He’s so fecking good in isolation 1v1s
also that dribble deserved a goal man

One of our better players today
You can see the effect of actual good coaching in his performances now. He looks so much more confident now that he actually knows what he should be doing in different situations on the ball. No more Vibes FC.
If he goes this summer and Frimpong comes in, we should really be getting a solid fee back. A club like West Ham would do well to buy him for 30M and just have a lock down RB. So many of the best attackers are LWs now and he shuts them down regularly.
Really turned his career around here at United. Always felt criticism he got was a bit OTT
That tackle on Mitoma with the wrong foot, on the wrong side was insane. He surely waited for Mitoma’s right leg to become his trailing leg which is some next level tackling IQ as it was the only time to get at that ball cleanly.
Thought he was fantastic today and that run was quality.

Shut Mitoma down completely. Made an incredible run too. He has come leaps and bounds.
I've had doubts about him but his dribbling and touch when coming infield is impressive. Ally that to his tackling and improved pressing and I wouldn't be unhappy with him having an extra year.
One thing I've noticed is he doesn't lose the ball as often as others and his decision making is good
Wan Bissakadinho today. Solid.
This. People are trying to say that he's all of the sudden technically brilliant when he isn't. But he doesn't have to be, he can be very effective as long as he has an idea of where his passing options will always be when receiving the ball instead of having to conjure something out of thin air. Klopp turned Liverpool around initially with a bunch of bang average workhorse midfielders that succeeded because even if they were mediocre on the ball they always knew where the space was on the pitch through the structure of the team
Need a gif or clip of that run, anyone?
Brilliant when he was on the pitch. Mitoma did nothing.
Whatever happens I hope EtH does not sell him.
Fantastic. He's saved his United career with these performances and I don't think there's any better one on one defender around.
He did beat Bissaka once, which was surprising because generally nobody beats him in a one-on-one.
Really solid performance from him.
Has shown a bit of consistency since he was frozen out the team earlier in the season. This new side of him better stick, great asset to have in the modern game when so many of the dangerous players are LW.
Long term if we do transition to a possession based team he’d still have questions marks but for now the team has much bigger issues to look at if he keeps this up.

Who said that ? Rio ?And so many brainwashed people think tackling means mistake was already done
Flawless
Kept Mitoma in his pocket, and had a great game. Brighton kept pumping it to his side, but little did they know that AWB has been a new man this season.
If he played the whole season he'd be up for POTY. He's been fantastic.
Great to see him playing so well.
Quality and heart is there
Our most improved player this season?
Can't believe I'm saying it as I was praying for us to sell him in the summer, but I'll be gutted if we cash in on him in the summer now.
