Consistent, drilled, forward and eye of the needle passes non stop. This is a Carrick player. This is a young Carrick. This is missing from our midfield. If he doesn’t get played consistently this season I am thoroughly done with Mourinho.
He has--but then again, he s done this before in preseason imho. Probably more composed and less trickery tho.Damn. He's been superb in this pre-season. If he were a new 50m purchase with a showing like that, I would be delighted.

As long as he's a high priority sub that comes on in a lot of the matches, plus gets a decent amount of starts. Basically that he gets a fair chance of over-taking Herrera, Fellaini and McTominay in the pecking order, and ultimately if he deserves to move ahead of one of the starting three then he gets rewarded for it. That's the situation I'm hoping for.I can see him having a great pre-season only to sit on the bench afterwards.

He should be ahead of them imo but with Jose.... he prefers age too muchAs long as he's a high priority sub that comes on in a lot of the matches, plus gets a decent amount of starts.

He did do it two years ago from memory. Last year his preseason certainly wasn't as good though. It wasn't bad and he was decent enough, but he also didn't stand out at all like he has this season.Was just gunna say this.
His performances are absolutely no surprise, he's done this for the last couple pre season tours and it's really frustrating he hasn't already been given a chance, especially given how stale our midfield has looked during that time.
From memory he was played in the same position last season (where he was decent but nothing special), until the last match when he was moved over to the right wing (where he was actually quite poor). I could be wrong though.Last pre-season he was shuffled around at various positions, this pre-season he has basically only played one position, and will likely play the first few matches of the league at least.
The plan seems to be that he will be the back up to Matic.
I didn’t get a chance watch him in a Valencia shirt, but going by his excellent pre-season form I’m surprised his performances there weren't widely applauded. Did he turn out in a different position for them?
He wasn't good in the last preseason at all.
I am not sure if people were blown away but considering which players played alongside him in a different stage of fitness against a much fitter side I think he's done really well so far and stoodout while not being outstanding but that is what Mourinho want from him keep it simple and he's doing that playing alot fo forward passes while handling the ball quickly. Wait for him to play next to Pogba Matic, with Lukaku, Lingard and Rashford up top, he will play better for sure in a better team. Let's hope he keeps that up till the start of the season. Then Mourinho has no other thing to do then to start him over unfit Fred who still has to prove himself. Vacationing Pogba and Fellaini. Big chance for Pereira this year, hope he stays patient if he's not pick from the beginning but surely he should hget his chanceYeah, he was pretty poor. You could almost pinpoint the game where his hopes of forcing his way into the team evaporated completely. The friendly in Dublin. Glad to hear he was good last night. Although I'm tempted to take the rave reviews with a pinch of salt because people were getting giddy about the previous game too. And I watched that one and wasn't half as blown away as some of ye. Hopefully he's improving, game by game.
He looks like the exact midfielder we needed last season.
I do wonder why on earth we bothered re-signing Fellaini. It's pretty clear we'll play a three man midfield, and we'll have Pogba, Matic, Fred, Herrera, Pereira, Lingard, Fellaini and McTominay.
Too many numbers.
Lingard is surely one for the attacking 3. But yes, too many.
I'm very impressed. Stoked that he’s producing, albeit in pre-season.
He's at a similar age to what Jorginho was when he first broke into the Napoli team. I hope his United career follows a similar trajectory. He certainly seems confident in his recent interviews, almost demanding the responsibility.

Looked far better for England as a #8 than he does out wide for us.

Very debatable that. His best position is behind the striker.

I said it before, I'm saying it again, that's some Scholes shite from Andreas right there.
The kid needs to play. Maybe not thrown directly into the 1st eleven, but he should be the 1st CM on the bench and the 1st CM available for a sub.
