433 formation allows him to drift into space that would have been taken up by a No 10. Against Everton, he used the space to good effect. Besic didn't know whether to follow him or not. Same with Lingard. That's why both players were very involved.

Exactly, what I mean, having a few deeper midfielders and leaving a hole infront of the defence actualy draws their midfielders away, leaving more room for them to work in. It also means they need to play a more narrow formation which can help leave our wingers 1v1. It's no coincidence our form has risen since we stopped playing a 4231 or using a number 10 in general.
Not a surprise.
Tip: overrated doesn't mean he's shit.
He is underrated, they think that he is playing at his best level.
Who's they? I dunno why I even got dragged into this discussion...
The people you tipped.
Man Utd 1:1 Leicester
Good goal and loving some of the runs he's made first half.
Quiet after the goal but he's always a threat. Our only threat at times.
Hes been quite poor this half. Started well, but hes continuously given the ball away in good positions.
Been good but his short passing has been off.
Why is he on the right????!
Double team him and we dont win.
That annoyed me too. Was a waste and is always a waste yet somehow weve done it more than a few times this season.
Loved his finish though. Wish he had a competent left back to play with.
15 goals for us this season, very good output for a young winger in his first season of English football.
Fingers crossed Shaw comes back with no problems...
Took his goal well and looked our main threat as usual, it's a shame he gets so little link up with Rojo in comparison to how Lingard and Valencia were operating on the right.
Just wait till next season when Shaw is back
Didnt really look at it today, especially compared to last week, although I suppose thats my fault for expecting a performance like that one every game from now on.
Took his goal well, and as usual was a constant threat. He just needs to focus a bit more when he's passing. Got into good areas today, but often broke down because of a poor pass. Will come with experience, though.
Most teams work to put the ball on the plate for players like Martial, got a chance kicked it in the goal, not at his best though.
Imagine where we'd be had we not stuck gold with him. LvG should count his blessings on that one.
Had 15 goals and 10 assists in mind as a benchmark for a strong first season. Very pleased he's got there with four games to go.
i mean....
Where would we have been without him or de gea this season
Don't get me wrong he was still good and probably our best player, just the standards he has set himself are so high now in my eyes. He looked a bit tired today though imo.Scored the goal and created acres of space on the left only for #RojoIsShit to feck it up time and time again. Too bad he isn't surrounded by better players.
A foreign 20yr old bought for huge money by United - if he wasn't justifying the price, you'd never hear the end of it.
Didn't link up with others much today, which is a shame because he really comes to life then. A better team/tactics around him and he'd be pushing 20 goals already.

He's great. 20 goals+ next season.
It's actually an amazing return for someone who's new to league and barely 20
How was he not among the nominations for YPOTY?
Was he not?
That's criminal.I agree he must've been very close to being considered, his goal return for his first season has been very good.
Just had a look and the shortlist was Kane, Alli, Coutinho, Butland, Lukaku and Barkley. I'd argue that he's had a more impressive season than at least two of those. Quite an English list, really.
Don't know how he got in ahead of Barkley who has had barely any impact in comparison to him.
Scored and was a threat when needed. Leicester are tough defensively, with simpson giving it his all.
Agree with both of these, not to mention that the 4-3-3 suits most of our midfielders more than 4-2-3-1 anyway. This season has been such a fecking trainwreck.
The kid keeps on scoring despite receiving more attention. That's key going forward.
His potential is incredible. Imagine how good he'd be in a Fergie side..
He's a magician on the ball, they should make him play in a full length wizard robe. It will also help opposition fullbacks and give them a fighting chance.
Just wait till next season when Shaw is back
The thought of a fully fit Shaw operating on the flank with Martial gets me all hot and bothered.
Fingers crossed he comes back at 100%.
