His all round play was better in his second season but he did not score as many.

That's why I wasn't too concerned about his output. At 20 then, it was about developing him as a better all-around player, in & outside the box -- a bit of what they are doing to Marcus at the moment but in reverse.
Like height in basketball, you can't teach; Mason had the ability to strike the ball so cleanly, with little back-lift with both feet.
They had a long-term plan for him....until he fecked it up.
The goal was quite the retort to some of the hysteria we saw last week.
Still doesn't turn 19 until the summer. As breakthrough seasons go, this kid has nailed it. Hopefully we can get the contract situation sorted over the summer.
I'm really excited for what the future holds for him. He really seems to have the lot. Can beat his man, run with the ball, go on the inside or outside, can score and assist, comfortable on both feet. We have a genuine world class talent on our hands that we need to nurture here.

Not sure I've seen anyone else post this but I agree with you, that's the first player that came to mind when I saw him originally.
Man Utd 3:0 Leicester
Should just be used as an impact, unfortunately it has happened for him In any of his league starts this season, 3/4 he been pulled at HT.
Agreed but with the injuries ETH had to give him a start today while we ease Sancho back in
An impact player at the moment.
Yep. Sancho has looked good/better since returning as an impact player too (both sub appearances).
Both players looking arguably more effective off the bench.
Antony's place in the squad is so so vital.
Yeah, and there's nothing wrong with that either. It's beneficial for the squad to have good options.
He's lost tactically, should not be starting now. I don't see that's an issue really, we have Rashford / Sancho to play on LW anyway. Garnacho is very food off the bench though, imagine giving him a go instead of Elanga today.
Agreed, I think right now our best attack is Rashford left, Antony right, Bruno and Weghorst through the middle (imagine that but with a capable number 9)
Still having the likes of Sancho and Garnacho on the bench gives us decent depth
Needs to learn the basics when things are not going well. Exposed Shaw time and time again.
Going to be inconsistent at his age.
Didn’t go his way today but that’s to be expected, he is a young lad learning his trade. I find it difficult to be to over critical personally.
Today is a good learning curve for him where he needs to understand how he can help the team when it’s not working out for him in the final third.
It's such a funny/odd conundrum isn't it. We value our Brazilian winger for his hard work on and off the ball and possession traits. Then we need our English forward for nuanced creativity and play making ability.
We also have a 6'6 dutch striker, who is our best third midfielder
Needs to change his boots, constantly slipped and falling over the past 3/4 games he's played.
I thought a good word to describe his performance was "immature", which is more or less what you can expect. He needs some more education defensively and is a little inconsistent. I don't necesarily think he has to be used only as a sub - if the game and the opposition is right he can make an impact when starting as well. He is a very exciting young player
He was poor, he’s got to make transition from being an impact player to someone who can contribute more regularly as a starter. As long as he is willing to learn from games like today he’ll be fine.
He's much better coming off the bench atm. Only 18 years old so understandable.
very poor today....hasn't put in a decent performance in quite some time
Literally scored a goal to close a very tricky away game exactly one week ago.
Must be the goldfish section of our support
More of an impact player when the game is stretched . I’ve no idea he will be class he’s still a kid
I really like this kid, but he was awful defensively today.
You can be a fantastic winger, but if you put the team under pressure by not doing the dirty work, you'll lose the confidence of the coach and even teammates.

Clearly ETH trusts him even at 18 and not good decision making
If he doesn't make it, with ETH on the head he won't be here at 22 yo
But if hes still here at that age, thats because he got it right and that's a terrific prospect, world class winger
Worth the bet

Has an awful lot to learn, as to be expected. Much better suited as an impact sub right now. He's a better Daniel James.
Absolute rubbish.
Don’t know very much about football do you?
Should be used as an impact sub until he grows into his body a bit.
I am sorry for your medical condition, I hope your dementia ain't too far gone already.
I can see logic rotating him with Sancho.
Neither player seem to start games very well. Both players seem to make an impact from the bench.
There's no alarm bells here and any overreactions are beyond stupid.

Could you have ever imagined Ronaldinho being the water carrier for Kieron Dyer back in 2002?
There's only 2 water carrier, Adam Sandler is one the other is a WC winnerCould you have ever imagined Ronaldinho being the water carrier for Kieron Dyer back in 2002?
We have to learn the lessons we just got with rashford. Give the kid time to develop. He's not even in his adult frame. I don't like his ball hawking though and how he fecks over his fullback a lot. Earn the right to do all the flair stuff, early rashford being a great example of this.
He's way better coming from the bench. Needs to do his defensive work as well, left Shaw by himself a couple of times.
Just 18 so the future is bright I'm sure ten Hag will develop him properly.

Not much going forward and complete liability defensively. Since Sancho is back he needs to stay as a sub.
Peaky form at the minute. One game he has an impact, the next he’s hampering us significantly.
I thought he was none existent defensively today; didn’t tuck in adequately, never got out to the fullback aggressively, didn’t ever look to spin & stretch the lines when Shaw had the ball at his feet.
His general play has regressed as the level of competition has increased; cup game Garnacho early in the season looked electric, the burden of starting games and having tactical responsibility seems a heavy shirt to wear at the moment. There is absolutely a top player in there, a bit of patience & maybe some bench time when Antony & Martial return should help.
I’d be looking at him starting the FA Cup tie against West Ham, and having limited minutes until then. Barca & Newcastle are games that we can’t take a punt on which Garnacho shows up.
