I wonder if he's from Mourinho's Chelsea scouting list or a candidate from United's?
It wouldn't be far-fetched to think he was on both.

It's not fair to say they have been poor when the average performancez from most of the team has been poor as well.. I agree that they haven't been the best but neither have they been the worst all season.. they've had their bad moments but don't deserve to be called flops yet
He's quicker than Martial.
Depay > Embolu
I think Martial is quicker too, and that's off the ball. On the ball, there is no comparison to be made.No chance imo, he's got pace but Martial is lightening.
Thought he had a nice cameo today. Showed no nerves and could have had an assist with that one lovely pass. I liked the positions he was taking up today, sometimes left and sometimes central, very hard to mark.
A younger version of Lukaku
I think he is technically better.
Whats all the negativity about... He did well today. Ok he didn't get a hatrick or dribble round 25 players and stick it on a plate for a team mate. As some may want or have expected from all the hype.
I thought he did really well today in the few mins he was on. Not in awe of the situation, worked hard, got on the ball, was fouled a few times and wasn't phased, looked to play people in and be played in.
I get it, i see what they are on about. Is he messi at 19? maybe he is not a 19 year old rooney... How did that turn out? Surely you can all see the potential of this lad. There is way more to be admired than be disapointed about.
My tuppence worth
Also he seems to be a lot better in the buildup (link up play). I'd hate to see Lukaku on the wing.I think he's a striker. He's got pace, strength and a decent technique but not the blasting technique you're expect from a winger. As @Sigma said he seemed a more technical version of Lukaku
More of a flexible foward than Lukaku is, already has a better touch and more skillful.A younger version of Lukaku
Lakaku.... yea good call. But maybe faster.I think he's a striker. He's got pace, strength and a decent technique but not the blasting technique you're expect from a winger. As @Sigma said he seemed a more technical version of Lukaku

So maybe he wasn't the reincarnation of Pele but if we can sign another player with Rooney's contribution I'm down for that.I think he means that Rooney didn't live up to his potential.

Yes, and hes right I supposed its not so clear.What does the bit in bold mean?
I would agree that based on very limited viewings, Embolo seems more technically sound than Lukaku was at the same stage (although that's a low bar). Would be an interesting signing given Mourinho's previous experience with Lukaku. Embolo is about as raw as Lukaku was when he joined Chelsea, and Mourinho didn't seem to have much interest in suffering through Lukaku's growing pains.
I wonder if this is one of those plays where he gets loaned out immediately to develop.
He seems to have a wicked cross on him. Better to use that out wide don't you think ?I think he's a striker. He's got pace, strength and a decent technique but not the blasting technique you're expect from a winger. As @Sigma said he seemed a more technical version of Lukaku
I think he is a sensation – playing like that aged 17. I like him as a person as much as I do as a player. His feet will stay on the ground – he won't be shooting from 50 metres to score the goal of the season. You can give him good advice and he is ready to take it without getting angry.
Also he seems to be a lot better in the buildup (link up play). I'd hate to see Lukaku on the wing.

I think he's better off as striker. He's quite direct, physical and has a great eye for goals
But his finishing is not that great from what I've read/seen. Obviously, that will improve with time. Would be great if we had a trio of forwards that could regularly interchange at will though ala MSN.I think he's better off as striker. He's quite direct, physical and has a great eye for goals
You may be right but having 3 young players (Himself,Martial & Rashford) that can play anywhere across the front 3 can only be a good thing. Let them develop and see who deserves to go central.

13 goals in 40 games isn't bad for an 18 year old
According to Wikipedia he has 30 goals in 86, which is impressive considering his age. Not only the amount of goals, but the amount of games he has played. Also has 10 senior appearances for Switzerland.
It is impressive, but I've been more impressed by his assists really. Some of the goals he created are excellent. Like I said, if the front three can interchange regularly, it wouldn't be a problem either ways as the movement alone would mess up the opposition. Rashford and Embolo's movement are just absolutely fantastic. Clever runners off the ball.13 goals in 40 games isn't bad for an 18 year old
