Hardly surprising that a Manchester United youngster is hyped, perhaps a tad excessively, after a full debut like that, where he turned the game on its head, in a pretty high pressure match for us really given our poor start.
For those who have only seen him play for the first team it might seem unjustified, premature and a bit over the top, but his potential has been totally obvious to anyone who has watched him play in the academy/reserves over the past couple of years. He's been truly special at every level, and he's continuing in the same vein for the first team.
Whilst the the debate about nationality only kicked off here in England after the Sunderland game, he's been courted by Belgium and Albania in particular for ages and has refused their advances several times re joining their youth set-ups, it's not all just because of two goals against Sunderland.
