Ah, I remember the times it was blasphemy to criticise this man. The amount of stick I got when I said this was a terrible signing when he first arrived was only rivaled by the amount of stick I got when I said Antony would be a terrible signing. Everyone was happy with that transfer window except me because I actually watched these guys.
Unlike most, I don't think he's in poor form or doing anything different than what I've seen him do for years. He was rubbish last season where some important goals masked many a poor performance, and I didn't like him at Madrid either, which was why I was against the signing. He's always been rash in the challenge. He's always been poor in possession when he's not had press resistant partners next to him to bail him out. He's always been weak under pressure. Sure, ten Hag's horrendous setup does none of our players any favours, but his deficiencies as a player were always there regardless of the system.
The one thing I can say is that he's probably not the most overrated player we've ever had anymore because everyone is realising how poor he is. I can't wait to see the back of him because not only is he rubbish, he clearly doesn't give a fluff about Manchester United after everything he achieved at Madrid. He checked out before even arriving here.
