Probably because ten hag mentioned robben.Why are some people mentioning Robben? Robben was beyond rapid with the ball.

conclusion: we need to sign Ronaldinho to bring the fun times back to UnitedIf you look at the PL stats for this season, Rashford's is actually better than Antony's - 34.6 to 31.0. The key thing here though is they're both low - below 50 percentile (ie, sub-average for PL wingers). But this, like headers won %, is a stat that is of doubtful usefulness on its own. If you look at take-ons attempted, it's 4.04 for Rashford, 3.82 for Antony. These are above-average, but not extremely high. If you look at the successful take-ons/90, which is arguably the most useful stat if you're looking at only one, Rahsford's is OK at 1.40, while Antony's is sub-average at 1.19.
For context, Garnacho is 27% (very bad)/7.35 (very high)/1.99, while Sancho is 41.8% (still bad)/4.17/1.74.
Antony is the only United attacker whose miscontrols aren't sub-average, but still not that good (1.84 in the PL). The others; Rashford 2.53, Garnacho 3.97, Sancho 2.65.
Of all those stats, the volume of Garnacho's take-on attempts (7.35/90) is the only one that is top 15 percentiles for wingers/att mids in the PL this season, and no one has even an average PL winger success rate, so it is safe to say this is not a strong area for this team.
If you want to add in Martial, he has a better success rate (50%) than any of the wingers, but he makes very few attempts (2.07/90), giving him 1.03 successful take-ons/90 (which is actually at least above average, for a striker). 2.51 miscontrols/90, also better than average for a PL striker.
Forward who doesn't score or create anything. Pretty weird type of forward in my book.
Can't tell if these posts are joking anymoreManager knows him though. An invaluable attribute.
But he hasn't, he has been better than he was before but that still isn't particularly impressive. The fact is even in his good performances he will still kill the majority of attacks by waiting to face up the full back ans then passing it back or passing it inside into a congested area. The only real strength he has seems to be workmate, with the occasional banger but that just isn't enoughBeen very good recently. Our best player. Shite tonight though. You could tell he wasn’t on it from the first few minutes.
I've said it we're in big trouble if he's in our front 3. It immediately puts a ridiculously high burden on the other players to score or create because he does neither.

What's the point of this guy, he does something good every few games and that seems to be enough to convince people he is going to be world class. People act like its something impressive on the rare 9ccasions he uses his right foot. The fact is if he had only cost 30m no one would believe he was good enough to be starting for us
I prefer Pellestri. He can actually beat a fullback and get crosses in with his right foot.
Awful signing.
We will have to agree to disagree then. Murphy has also looked good for Newcastle recently and to my eyes looks a better player for now but I don't rate him eitherNah, he has been very good recently.
Yeah, we saw him do that once in a sub appearance so that means he'll automatically do that all the time in every game.
At the same time, Antony have likely had 15x-20x the amount of minutes to do the same... Conclusion is that Pellistri have the ability and Antony doesn't.Yeah, we saw him do that once in a sub appearance so that means he'll automatically do that all the time in every game.

Didn't have the cutting edge we needed from him tonight to finish off a fairly poor Spurs side.
He seems to be more squad-player level. I think he could possibly fit a Park Ji Sung role, but he is not showing enough for the first team.
Think he will stand out even more if we sign a top striker, and not for good reasons. I feel we will look incredibly imbalanced, like Tottenham have when they had Kane and Son with a far lesser right winger.
Bright in the first half, not involved at all second but I wouldn't blame him too much for that given how little control we had.

He literally lost the ball every time he got it in the first 20 minutes.He definitely wasn't bright in the first half. His first 20 minutes were among some of the worst from a United player this year I'd say. Probably gave the ball away more times than he completed a pass.
